Lloyd Axworthy (Napoleon's World)

Lloyd Norman Axworthy (born December 21, 1939) is a former Democratic politician from Kahokia who served as the United States Senator for Kahokia from 1987 until 2011. He served for twenty of his years as the Senior Senator. Before the Senate, he was the United States Representative for the 2nd District, covering the southern and eastern suburbs of Winnipeg and the eastern half of the state, from 1981 until 1987. He served in the State Assembly from 1969 until 1981, the final four years of his time there as its Speaker.

Axworthy ran in the 1980 election to replace Jim Richardson, who retired after 12 years in the House, and won comfortably in the ancestrally Democratic district even as Nationalists carried the state at the Presidential, Senate and Gubernatorial level. In 1986, he ran against and defeated Nationalist Senator Brian Ransom, winning 57-40 to retake the seat. He won reelection comfortably every six years until 2010, when in a massive upset he was defeated by State Senator and former US Representative Brian Pallister, becoming the first incumbent Democratic Senator from Kahokia to lose a contested general election.
