Biography: When Alexander Miers was born, the Miers as a political force was still in its infancy. Sure, there was a grandfather who had been the Governor of the State of Massachusetts, and Thomas Miers was well on his way to being a congressman. No, for the most part, the Miers were known for the shipbuilding business that Eion McNaughton had built from the ground up during the first Great War. McNaughton Shipping would continue to flourish through the great depression and go on to supply the navy during World War 2. By the time Alex came around in the mid 50s, then, there were already silver spoons to be had. Still, Thomas was a proud man and refused to take part in any of the money earned by his wife’s father (even if he did accept a job within the company). Alex’s earliest years were spent on Boston’s South Side with a decently middle class upbringing. For the most part, Alex was both too young and too carefree to care that they weren’t anything special. Two more brothers would be born in quick succession of each other. His father was elected to the United States House of Representatives. However, the biggest change would happen the year Alex started looking into Boston Latin.

In 1968, Alex was still in elementary school. Still, with a 4.2 GPA and a drive to do even better (even if he WAS a bit young for anything to be certain), it was obvious that good things were to come. In 1968, though, there was also a Presidential Campaign, one that Thomas Miers would run in. In reality, Thomas stood no chance next to the Republican Party’s real rising star, Richard Nixon. Still, in his head, Thomas all but had the nomination in the bag. When he found otherwise, Thomas was naturally devastated. Gregory and Iason were too young to understand the implications of the loss, but Alex had always been a perceptive child and his father’s grief was felt hard. Thomas would never again run for President of the United States, and at that point in his life, Alex vowed he would never run for political office period. It was a vow that would stick with Alex throughout his life, abandoning him only when he had no other choice.

Despite being rather rough years in the Miers’ household, Alex’s time spent at Boston Latin ended up being surprisingly good. He would continue to excel in school, eventually graduating Valedictorian of the class of 1976. His acceptance into Notre Dame by his junior year made certain that the next two years weren’t as stressful as the average upperclassman’s, and perhaps most importantly, Alex had already met the love of his life. Jo Hatchett was both pretty and smart, though her academics tended to suffer under her social life. In Alex’s eyes, he stood no chance with the girl in Freshman English but when word went around that she didn’t have a date to Winter Formal, Alex went against the odds and asked Jo to the dance. Over the next three and a half years, the couple couldn’t be separated. They were voted Junior Prom King and Queen, most likely to get married. Alex proposed on Graduation Day and on Christmas break of his freshman year of college the two were married in a small ceremony at St. Stephens. It should have been a hard life. Jo was still attending The University of Massachusetts and her husband was halfway across the country. However, by her sophomore year, Jo had pulled up her grades enough to transfer to St. Mary’s and the couple was finally able to start their married life properly.

Perhaps the hardest years of the marriage came early when the couple was broke and Alex insisted on moving to England to accept a scholarship from the London School of Economics. The couple was young and in a new country, and Jo was forced to work while Alex completed a Master’s of Science in Political Sociology. To make matters worse, Jo found out she was pregnant. While a child was never a burden, the fact that Jo was working and happened to have a rather miserable first trimester didn’t take away from the strain already felt by the two. Anna Miers was born three days before her father’s graduation and a week early enough to keep the couple from divorce. Where there had been fighting just months before, there was now a sort of punch drunk attitude that came about, baby making three and solving a surprising amount of problems.

By that fall, the family was moved to New York so that Alex could attend Graduate School at Columbia. Jo, around family once more, settled into the role of housewife much easier than she had in London. Though getting his PhD was much more stressful than anything he had done before, Alex too was changed from being at home. A second daughter, Elene, was born during Alex’s trek to get his degree and by the time he accepted a position as terminal illness counselor, baby number three (a boy named Dmitris) was on the way. The family wasn’t wealthy. The first years that Alex was in the work force proper were a struggle and despite his pride, Alex was forced to take money from his family to make it from month to month. Within a few years, though, things would settle and progress enough that the family could buy a home on their own money and Alex could pay back the money he had previously been given. It wouldn’t be until two other daughters were born (Natasa and Katina) and growing into school-aged children that there would be a problem.

When Elene told her him she was pregnant, Alex thought the world had ended. Not only was she only 15, the boy was a high-school dropout, a twenty something that she wasn’t even seeing on a steady basis. He felt betrayed, but mostly he felt like a horrible parent. Where had he gone so wrong that his daughter would not only see a boy like that but be so stupid as to sleep with him, to have his child? Being catholic, abortion was never an option, but against his better judgment, he didn’t try to force the couple into marriage. For the most part, he did what he could. He supported his daughter and the baby, helped raise Ethan as Elene finished school, held his daughter when the father finally ran out on her. Elene would go on to graduate from a community college and marry a nice boy, but Alex had learned his lesson. The rest of his children would suffer under newly implanted rules. While he didn’t go psycho, Alex enforced strict curfew rules. None of the kids could go on single dates before 16, phone calls had to be made whenever they were out, letting him know who they were with and where they were at. He had to meet all friends before the kids were allowed to go anywhere with them. The kids complained, but there were no more pregnancies out of wedlock.

If nothing else would have changed in his life, Alex would have been satisfied. His marriage wasn’t amazingly passionate anymore, but it wasn’t bad. His children were growing up, and while they made normal mistakes, for the most part things went smoothly. However, just around the time Ethan was born, another big change would happen. Alex’s roommate from his freshman, Aaron Lopez, nominated Alex for City Councilman. It was half joke, half serious and while Alex had expressed no interest in getting into politics despite the Master’s in Political Sociology, when things started to go his way, he suddenly started having second thoughts. Was it possible he could actually do something to change the city? Did he have a duty towards his new home? Alex ended up running out of Patriotic duty, and to his surprise, won. It was a stressful, thankless job, but so had his work at the hospital. Years later, he would find himself dipping deeper into the political world, running for State Senator. While his two brothers had moved away and made fortunes for themselves, Alexander was seen as the Miers brother who had stayed true to his roots. He lived in the first house he had purchased, drove a Ford and had kids that weren’t perfect. He was, against the rest of his family, a Democrat. Unfortunately, that down-home feel would fall apart, and by the summer of 2009, it was clear that things were never going to be the same. Jo and Alex filed for divoce, and soon Alex found himself starting over. The year, however, would bring other changes as well, and by that fall, there was no question that Alex would be elected as Mayor. The people of New York were discontent, ready for change on a more local level and Alex finally settled into a life of normalcy. His children grew up, moved out, got married, had children of their own. His son went out to Hollywood, became a minor actor while his youngest daughter got into music. He was proud of both, but no more excited about their success than the success of any other of his children. Despite the slight fame that has come with his position and his family’s power, he has remained a family man, a smart-but-shy politician that’s served for the people.
