rdfs:comment
  • Elected to the Senate in April 3112, Ken Coburn was one of the first Free Democrats to sit in the legislature. An ultra-conservative, Coburn had few friends in the Senate and this alienated him from the other Free Democrats. Following the resignation of John Barclay, Coburn ran for the leadership of the party in 3128. He was eliminated on the second ballot. Despite his huge defeat, Coburn was brought to the front benches. He became an active figure within the party and he was named Deputy Leader by Esperanza Seei in 3136. Following her resignation, Coburn was acclaimed as the new leader.

Following her resignation, Coburn was acclaimed as the new leader. Coburn's leadership was cut short when he was forced to announce his resignation after he was diagnosed with colon cancer. He died months later. Dani Sloan died moths later in early 3144 at the age of 62. Many speculate that she died of a broken heart. Ruth, Kristi, and Jan all died in 3170 while voyaging on their father's boat. The boat hit rocks and sank with the three women and their families on board. Ruth was 63, Kristi was 60, and Jan was 56.
