He nodded, "I'll push for this. Who is the councilor for the Imperial District now?"
Federation City is divided into administrative regions, each with an equal number of city councilors.
Golden Port City's eleven administrative districts each have eleven city councilors.
Districts like the port area, Bay Area, and downtown are basically dominated by veteran councilors like Councilman Williams. In actuality, the only districts where others can participate are places like the Imperial District and Sumuli District—areas without political influence.
Those living here are either elderly people nearing the end of their lives or immigrants with no political rights. The districts aren't wealthy, and there are no significant capitalists colluding with them.
To the true city elites, these places are not appealing. But for a civil servant like Williams, who is still working in a City Hall office, becoming even the lowest-ranked councilor would be a tremendous promotion!
