Don't take employment to mean endorsement. She was a terrible politician.
[Akechi saw her as a point of intel, albeit one that proved more difficult to crack once he had her within reach. The fact that she seemed like a sure bet for employment at the time was a factor, too—if she had gotten into the main office, he would be in there as well. That was part of the aim. He could see the mess of a campaign quite easily once he got inside.
And then it became a problem of access.
It didn't help that she was reclusive.]
I think it's probable that Durcell may not be shaken by the intel. Many know of their supposed criminal ties, and if they're still in the running, it means that anything we have on them may not matter. But they're an opportunist, and we could present ourselves as that opportunity.
But Lynch is another story all together. The perfect politician, even if he hasn't held office. It's curious that the corporations haven't rallied behind him when he's a far more suitable pick. It could be that they know their choice would be shunned in this atmosphere. Or it could be that he's trouble for some in some way.
As for the young upstart, I fail to see how she would be able to succeed at governing. Ideals, beliefs, and hopes aren't enough to help stabilize this city. I fear for what may happen to New Amsterdam if we allow someone with little experience to step into office. You've heard of the decimation of North America, haven't you? I can easily see another necessary sacrifice in our future.
