Steve Reiders (December 8th, 1919-July 18th, 1996) was an American politician and soldier who served in the Quentinian House of Representatives for almost 5 years, representing the Grassland Area and the Fundamentalist Party. Before his stint as a representative of the United States of Quentin, he served in the United States of Quentin Army from 1939 until retirement in 1983, rising to the rank of Foreign Commander of the entire armed forces. Reiders served in the Greater Venturian War as a Sergeant, and then in the early 1980's as the Foreign Commander in the Mild Republic War.
As a Representative of the USQ, Reiders strongly opposed military expansion, and wanted to focus more on military aggression to solve issues, mainly with the Republic of Megatridimensional Order. He sponsored 4 bills that attempted to take over islands in the Brightwater Gulf, all of which failed to pass, and favored bills that slowed down technology and increased government workers. The only main thing he accomplished in 2 terms was shutting down Gareth Technological Institute in the Desert Area and help block Mild RePublican bills that would increase green energy exponentially, which he thought would have a negative effect on the economy.
Despite this long history of service, and the Supreme Commander's Medal of Service in 1979, Reiders is perhaps most well known for his part in the 1992 Knocking Bull Incident at the House of Representatives, where Representative Reiders became enraged at the House of Bureaucrats, which was largely Mild RePublican at the time, and went on a rampage, bursting into the House and furiously assaulting two Bureaucrats with his cane. Reiders was immediately detained, then brought to court, where he refused to speak and allowed his lawyer, Tom Davis, to speak for him. Though his lawyer did successfully plead provoked assault, getting Head Bureaucrat of the USQ Jackson Lexjekxvz 6 months suspension, it wasn't enough to keep Reiders completely out of jail, and he was sentenced five years at Mid-Peninsula Federal Prison. Reiders died in prison in 1996, after he came down with heatstroke from spending extra hours outside. Historians largely view the Representative and General as hardworking, determined, and stubborn, although ineffective at implementing his policies, many of which are viewed today as too traditional.
