Zantowski

Zantowski exists in the series as a named but off‑stage congressional vote whose recorded presence matters more than any spoken lines. Identified only by surname during a Roosevelt Room roll call, he functions as a procedural actor within tight legislative margins: a stabilizing datapoint whose yea or nay feeds the administration’s tactical calculations and the staff’s emotional arc. His narrative role remains anonymous and instrumental — a constituent representative whose predictable participation converts private anxiety into public outcomes, reinforcing the stakes of backstage politicking.
