Signature

Catherine Lowwe (born December 1st, 1971) is the 14th and current Health Minister of the United Kingdom of Malgrave.

Early life and career

Catherine was born in Bellshill Park, Omsk, she is the second daughter of Edward Reid and Penelope Saar. At a young age Catherine got into political activism at an early age leading a strike against an unpopular movement in her school, following the popular strike Catherine continued to be extremely active in the political arena of her high school.

After completing compulsory education Catherine decided to study at Royal Omsk University successfully gaining a BA in history and a Ph.d in economic history. Upon leaving university Catherine took various positions at MalBank and Malgravean Automotive Industries. It was at this time that Catherine claims that witnessing the continued struggle of the population during the Lost Decade rekindled some of the political activism she had lost during her university years. Already a member of the Progressive Unity Party Catherine soon stood in the 2000 national election taking over from a fellow Progressive politician who stood down. Catherine has since held three cabinet positions, her first coming in 2000 when she became Minister of Housing and Development holding the position for five years until she was became Minister of Anti-Communism and Fascism a position she successfully held until she was promoted to the position of Health Minister in 2009 a role which she has held since then.

Minister of Housing and Urban Development

As Minister of Housing and Urban Development Catherine was tasked with facilitating the expansion of housing in the country to account for the expected increase in population brought about by the end of isolation. In this role Catherine worked with Quinn Fabray and Amelia Malinowski who both served as the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development during her tenure as Minister of Housing and Urban Development.

Catherine also worked closely with the Gabriel Narutowicz Pioneers and Free Democratic Youth to ensure that newly arrived migrants were welcomed into the country. With the assistance of the Pioneers and Free Democratic Youth Catherine worked at promoting several new schemes aimed at increasing communication and friendship between different cultures.

It has been noted that both the integration of new immigrant populations and cultural understanding of home-born citizens has increased over the years with several more schemes been implemented by Regional Social Solidarity Councils based on the Minister's original proposals for a more multicultural and understanding society.

Minister of Anti-Communism and Anti-Fascism

Although many predicted that Catherine would remain in her position of Minister of Housing and Urban Development considering her high success rate it was announced in the next planned cabinet reshuffle that she would instead be moved into the position of Anti-Communism and Anti-Fascism. During her time as Anti-Communism and Anti-Fascism Minister, she coordinated with the treasury, implementing a series of social reforms designed to reduce income inequality and unemployment levels in areas designated to be at a high risk of radicalism and involvement with terrorist activities.

Controversially she also pushed for a deal between the government and insurgent forces that included allowing some members of the organisation to be pardoned or certain crimes and be allowed to join the peaceful and legal Malgravean Future Party and Socialist Party. A move which has been contributed with helping end the several decade-long insurgency but has been called cowardice by some right-wing politicians who insist that they should of either been tried for their crimes or killed during military operations.

Minister of Health

Continued efficient handling of government positions led many inside the party and the national media to claim that Catherine Lowwe was in the line-up to potentially become Prime Minister, however, she surprised many political analysts in the country by giving her support to then relatively inexperienced Prime Minister Rachel Berry.

In the small cabinet reshuffle Rachel Berry organised after her appointment as Prime Minister, Catherine was appointed Minister of Health and served as an experienced hand to calm the nerves of the population. After winning the 2009 Malgravean Emergency General Election Catherine soon settled into the role of Health Minister continuing with long-standing plans to create new health facilities in order to cope with the new influx of immigrants to the country while not harming patients struck with Malgravean Immunodeficiency Disorder.

As with her predecessors Catherine supported efforts led by MalPha to try and cure Malgravean Immunodeficiency Disorder and extended her support to the Crescent Expedition.

Personal life

Family and romance

Catherine has publicly stated that she keeps regular contact with members of her family and has been seen visiting her parents and siblings residence several times a month, something which proves to be incredibly popular to voters. Romantically however Catherine has not been seen with a partner in some time although considering the privacy laws surrounding the countries press this is to be expected.
