Shauna Lultquist (born August 12th, 1969) is a Zamastanian politician, humanitarian, and activist who served as the youngest ever Speaker of the Chamber for one term (1994-96) as a member of the Libertarian Party. She was also the first black Speaker ever elected. Lultquist beat incumbent-Speaker Cain Blackwater after a split Chamber vote, and served for one term before losing her seat to Randolph Forrester in the following term, after which she continued to serve as a representative for her district until 2008. Following her tenure in politics, she established a non-profit organization: the Free Water for IDU Initiative, which provided fresh water utilities to nations and regions struggling to recover from natural disasters or conflicts.

Considered a moderate-conservative and a feminist, Lultquist has joined political and civil rights activists groups working to expand gender equality. Lultquist favors fiscally conservative policies like lowering taxes on corporations and de-federalizing subsidies. She has advocated for the legalization of medicinal marijuana, enforcing Zamastan's third-trimester abortion restrictions, and tightening immigration restrictions. On July 17th, 2019, she announced her candidacy for president in the 2020 Zamastan presidential election, making her the first ever black woman to run for the Presidency. She placed fifth in the race, which Atticus Moreau ultimately won, but Lultquist continued to lobby for political groups and work for her non-profit.
