Cuchilla Gutierrez (Political Simulation Game)

Cuchilla Gutierrez is the current member of the U.S. House of Representatives serving for Texas' 23rd Congressional District, having represented the district since its creation in 1968. A vociferous activist for Hispanic and Native American causes, Gutierrez has proven a vicious critic of both the Democratic and Republican parties (despite her membership in the former) and has been the cause of major controversies during her congressional tenure, such as refusing to swear the Pledge of Allegiance at her inauguration, being accused of spying for the KGB, and reportedly consuming peyote during a filibuster.
