Gabrielle Fitzgerald is a New Alexandrian politician and a Deputy of the Federal Assembly representing the Region of the Wechua Nation since 1718 AN. During the 1718 election, Fitzgerald managed to win a seat in what was a disastrous election for the Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance (SDLA), where the party lost 119 seats and dropped to third place. She is from the Wechua city of Rimarima. She is currently affiliated with the Democratic Socialist Party (DSP), formerly known as the Social Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance until 1720 AN.
Early Life and Education
Gabrielle Fitzgerald was born on 12.XV.1685 AN in Rimarima, Wechua Nation, the only child of James Fitzgerald and Margarita de Baudelaire. Her father was a public school teacher from Caputia and her mother worked as a grocery clerk and later as a bank clerk. Her mother was Alexandrian from Santander. Growing up in Rimarima, Gabrielle was an inquisitive and precocious child. She known for always asking, much to the annoyance of every adult around her, "Why?" constantly. Her parents encouraged her education and often would take time to help their daughter study. The Fitzgerald family struggled financially throughout much of Gabrielle's young life until her mother secured a prestigious job as a bank clerk in the Federal Bank of Nouvelle Alexandrie, which provided a steady additional income to the family and safety through its benefits.
Fitzgerald attended a local public Rimarima elementary school, La Escuela de Niños 19-510, in her neighborhood of Lahaye. For middle school, she attended a public school known for its robust theatre and arts programs, called Luciernaga Middle School. It was during her education in Luciernaga that Fitzgerald learned to sing, act, and play musical instruments. For high school, she was sent to a public superior preparatory school called the Volta School. It was at Volta that Gabrielle continued to hone in her theatre and singing talents, but also her passion for social studies and law. She participated in the Wechua Nation's Youth Assembly. After graduating from Volta in 1708 AN summa cum laude and as class valedictorian, Fitzgerald enrolled at the University of Cárdenas. Her father died after a long battle with lung cancer in 1710 AN, during her second year. This left the family distraught and in temporary dire financial situations which threatened Fitzgerald's attendance of college. She returned to school through her mother picking up a part-time second job. During college, Fitzgerald was an intern for Deputy Maria Teresa Motochanchi of the Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance in her section on foreign affairs, defense, and Social Solidarity issues. Gabrielle graduated cum laude from University of Cárdenas in 1714 AN with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both international relations and public administration, with a minor in economics.
Early Career
After graduating college in 1714 AN, Fitzgerald moved back to Rimarima with her mother, taking a job as a bartender and waitress to help her. She helped her mother fight the looming foreclosure of their family home and the family was able to get back on track in keeping the house. The legal fight, however, cost the family a lot of money.
During the New Alexandrian general election, 1713, Fitzgerald worked as a field campaign organizer in the Wechua Nation for the SDLA. During the election, she travelled throughout the Wechua Nation helping build the SDLA regional campaign apparatus and engaging with grassroots and supporters. After the SDLA lost the general election, she got a phone call from the Conference of New Alexandrian Progressives, which was recruiting progressive candidates for selection as Deputies for the election of 1718.
