Formerly known as William Weld, Chris King was a prominent member of the Libertarian Party and former governor of New Mexico during POWER III. He held office as the Regional Representative of the Southwest Region within the party shortly after joining the party; later he would hold office after being elected as the Chief Recruitment Officer (CRO). He is a longtime personal friend of Gary Johnson outside of POWER.
Chris King came out of retirement halfway through POWER XII to return as Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party, a position he held until the party's subsequent merger into the National Unity Party and further merger into the Farmer Labor Party.
Chris King became Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party again with the November 2020 reset and beginning of POWER XIII and helped facilitate a partnership with the Libertarian Party from a different game as well as several mergers with smaller parties. Chris went on to briefly serve as the acting Chair of the Libertarian Party during an attempt by Gary to avoid the negative affect of SI drain by the incumbent president's party.
POWER III[]
William Weld was recruited by Gary Johnson to join the game after several failed recruitment attempts during the time of POWER II. Very soon after joining the game, he became elected governor of New Mexico where he paid off the entire state's debt and significantly decreased the tax rate from 80% to 10% before being beaten by HAL-9008 in a heated five-way election.
After losing the election he started focusing more intently on assisting the party directly and got appointed to Southern Regional Representative to the party, assisting the Campaign Coordinator by locating prime potential states for Libertarian Party members looking to change states.
Soon after, he ran unopposed for Chief Recruitment Officer and took office August 10th, 2017. The governorship was securely his for several turns, but the Democratic Party swiftly left New Mexico, leaving a huge hole that the All Syndicalist Convention to come and fill, who ultimately posed a large threat to Weld's seat as governor, eventually dethroning him from his seat.
POWER XII[]
After being convinced to return by Gary Johnson, Chris King came on as Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party took over Oklahoma's Senate Seat 1, a position he held for several cycles until the merger with the National Unity Party. After the merger an allied regional party known as the Native American Party was given preference to control Oklahoma and Chris King left for Alabama where he made several attempts at office but never truly succeeded.
