Jonathan Kaur (born January 6th, 1972) is a Zamastanian politician and businessman serving as the Senator for Verdesia's 3rd district since 2016. Born in Wescastle, Kaur was raised in an affluent family in which his father was the executive of a coal mining conglomerate, Kaur and Desden Company. After attending both the University of Verdesia and the University of Tofino, Kaur took over the company as executive after his father died. Kaur and Desden was sued by the federal government in 2003 for a mine collapse which killed 18 miners. In 2006, Kaur entered local politics in his home province and became the mayor of Wescastle, and ran an unsuccessful campaign for Governor in 2014. He successfully ran for senate in 2016, and has since chaired numerous committees including the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
