Sadie Kate Melhaven (born 6 July 1980) is an Albarinean politician currently serving as the 47th Chancellor of Albarine. She is a member of the liberal Social Democratic Party which took a majority in the National Assembly in 2016, where they appointed Melhaven to the chancellorship. She became one of the youngest heads of state in the Coalition of Crown Albatross, as well as one of the youngest women ever elected to head a major world economy.
Melhaven describes herself as a social democrat and a progressive. Her government and political agenda has focused particularly on the Albarine housing crisis, child poverty, and social inequality. She was instrumental in bringing the country into the W.E.D.A. organization alongside Zamastan, Emmiria, Vitosium. In April 2018, she led the country through the aftermath of the Deamasau church shootings, rapidly introducing strict gun laws in response, and through the end of 2020 she directed the country's response to the Tarijar Strait Crisis. Melhaven led the Social Democratic Party to an historic victory in the 2020 general election, gaining an absolute majority of seats in the National Assembly, the first time this has happened since the introduction of proportional representation.
