Character

Tandy

Congressman Tandy surges into White House personal orbits as Amy's bold new paramour, his timing laser-focused post-Nan Lieberman's primary salvo. Josh skewers the liaison as naked vote-grab—polls spiking women's allegiance to shield Tandy's flank—forcing Amy's fiery defense of authentic spark amid calculated courtship. Offstage, Tandy's shadow looms large, fusing romantic pursuit with electoral chess, where dalliances harden into district armor against challengers' blades.
