Morissa Baumann (11.IX.1676 AN to 7.III.1746 AN) was a Nouvelle Alexandrie politician and scientist. A deputy for the Federal Consensus Party (FCP) in the Cortes Federales, she held the post of Secretary of State from 1729 AN to 1739 AN and led the party from 1740 AN until her death. She went to University of Cárdenas and studied International Relations there. She worked as a diplomat in the governments of Gerhardt Eugen Seydlitz, eventually rising to the position of Senior Diplomat for the Raspur Pact. She joined the FCP for the 1708 AN elections, and was elected then. She became spokesperson for foreign affairs, becoming the first Shadow Secretary of State after the 1718 AN elections.
Political career and death
Baumann was Secretary of State in Marissa Santini's government from 1729 AN to 1739 AN.[1] After the FCP lost the 1739 general election, Santini resigned the leadership,[2] and Baumann won it on 25.I.1740 AN with 52 percent of member votes in the third round.[3] At the 1744 general election the party gained 80 seats for a total of 244 deputies and became the Official Opposition, with Baumann as Leader of the Opposition.[4][5] She launched the party's National Consensus platform early in 1746 AN.[6]
Baumann died on 7.III.1746 AN in a collision with a construction truck on Highway A-7 near Fontainebleau while returning from a meeting with the Aldurian Regional Governor.[7] King Sinchi Roca II declared a national day of mourning and called her "a democratic stalwart whose principled leadership strengthened our Federation's commitment to transparent governance and loyal opposition."[7] Deputy Leader Marcus Thompson led the party as acting leader until Diane Lockhart won the contest to succeed her.[4]
