President Churchill

1874

Lord Randolph Churchill and his very-pregnant new wife decide to emigrate to the United States. Although this causes a lot of friction in his family, this is something that he felt needed to be done.

He immediately runs for the position of Alderman in New York City. He loses because he is seen as being a carpetbagger and no one knows him that well.

1878

Randolph makes his third, and final, attempt to be an Alderman for the City of New York. With the backing of the mayor he is at last successful.

1883

Randolph narrowly loses the mayoral election to Franklin Edson. He does not run for Mayor again. However, he does notice that his nine year-old son Winston is beginning to show an interest in politics himself.
