Marchand previously served on the Livermore City Council from 2005 to 2011 and on the Zone 7 Water Agency Board of Directors from 1990 to 2005. He is a member of the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]].<br /> <br /> ==Early life and education==<br /> Marchand was born in [[Hayward, California]], in 1953. He was raised there and was a student at Hayward High School.<br /> <br /> Marchand became interested in chemistry during his childhood. He got his first chemistry set from a local toy store when he was six years old and attended Jacques Cousteau shows.<br /> <br /> Marchand attended the [[California State University, East Bay]], graduating with a Bachelor of Science in biological sciences in 1976.<br /> <br /> == Career==<br /> <br /> === Scientific career ===<br /> Marchand began his career teaching marine biology and estuarine ecology at Point Molate Marine Laboratory and researching elephant seals at Año Nuevo State Park. He originally wanted to be an oceanographer, but because a medical condition prevents him from scuba diving, he opted to become a water quality specialist.<br /> <br /> Marchand was a water chemist at the Alameda County Water District. He joined the district in 1981 as a laboratory technician and eventually became a senior chemist in the district's operations and maintenance department. He retired in 2012 to focus on his service as mayor.<br /> <br /> Marchand became a member of the American Water Works Association in the 1990s. He is also the co-author of three books on water quality.<br /> <br /> === Acting career ===<br /> Marchand has been acting since college and met his future wife on the set of ''Babes in Toyland'', a local production, in 1972.<br /> <br /> Marchand has acted in over 25 community productions in Livermore, including plays and operas. His most prominent role was as mayor of Seville in ''Carmen'' in 2013.<br /> <br /> == Early political career ==<br /> Marchand was elected to the Zone 7 Water Agency Board of Directors in 1990. He made the decision to run after testing the water in his home and finding that the water in his own home had almost double the federal standard for trihalomethanes. Within his first six months on the board of directors, he lowered the amount of trihalomethanes in drinking water to meet federal standards. Marchand served as the board's president on two occasions and stepped down in 2005.<br /> <br /> In 2005, the Livermore City Council established the city's Commission for the Arts. Marchand was among its inaugural members and served as the commission's first presiding officer. He stepped down from the commission later that year after being elected to the city council.<br /> <br /> Marchand was first elected to the Livermore City Council in 2005. He was re-elected in 2009 and vacated his seat in 2011 after being elected mayor. His service on the city council includes four years as vice mayor and one year as acting mayor.<br /> <br /> == Mayor of Livermore ==<br /> <br /> === Elections ===<br /> Marchand was elected mayor of Livermore in 2011, defeating Barbara Hickman by 302 votes. He ran unopposed in 2014 and 2016.<br /> <br /> Marchand ran for his final term in 2018, defeated local businessowner Joshua Laine with 77% of the vote.<br /> <br /> Originally a candidate for the Zone 7 Water Agency Board of Directors, Marchand announced that he would instead run for mayor in 2022 after incumbent mayor [[Bob Woerner]] announced he would step down to focus on his health. Marchand, who was endorsed by Woerner, is opposed by local realtor Mony Nop, who ran for mayor in 2020 and managed Marchand's 2018 re-election campaign. Marchand narrowly defeated Nop in the general election.<br /> <br /> === Tenure ===<br /> Marchand was sworn in as mayor on November 28, 2011, replacing term-limited mayor Marshall Kamena.<br /> <br /> In 2012, Marchand authored a ballot initiative to move local elections in Livermore to even-numbered years. The initiative passed, resulting in increased turnout and $300,000 in savings for the city in future elections. As a result, Marchand's first two-year term lasted for three years.<br /> <br /> On May 23, 2012, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, based in Dubna, Russia, named element 116 &quot;livermorium&quot; in honor of the Livermore Lawrence National Laboratory, which collaborated with the Dubna-based Joint Institute for Nuclear Research to discover the element. Marchand traveled to Moscow and spoke to the IUPAC during livermorium's naming ceremony on October 24, 2012.<br /> <br /> Marchand was noted for his efforts to fight graffiti as mayor. He was known to carry graffiti cleaning kits in his truck and gained press attention for personally cleaning graffiti in Livermore. In 2014, he started the Graffiti and Litter Abatement Daily, a local initiative and volunteer program to clean graffiti. In 2016, Zero Graffiti International named him Graffiti Fighter of the Year.<br /> <br /> In 2014, Marchand convened a mayor's summit to combat homelessness in the Tri-Valley area. Later that year, First Lady Michelle Obama invited Marchand to join a White House initiative to combat veteran homelessness.<br /> <br /> In 2015, Marchand met with California governor Jerry Brown in Sacramento to discuss water conservation efforts and participated in a press conference during which Brown announced mandatory water cuts and water overuse fines to combat the 2011-2017 drought. Shortly after the announcement, the city raised rates for daily water usage.<br /> <br /> The American Water Works Association awarded Marchand its National Distinguished Public Service Award in 2017 for his &quot;exceptional service and commitment to the public&quot; outside of his career as a water chemist.<br /> <br /> In 2017, Marchand passed an city council initiative to allocate $6 million to build a new city council meeting chamber and emergency operations room adjacent to city hall.

Marchand previously served on the Livermore City Council from 2005 to 2011 and on the Zone 7 Water Agency Board of Directors from 1990 to 2005. He is a member of the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]].<br /> <br /> Marchand is a candidate for mayor of Livermore in 2022.<br /> <br /> ==Early life and education==<br /> Marchand was born in [[Hayward, California]], in 1953. He was raised there and was a student at Hayward High School.<br /> <br /> Marchand became interested in chemistry during his childhood. He got his first chemistry set from a local toy store when he was six years old and attended Jacques Cousteau shows.<br /> <br /> Marchand attended the [[California State University, East Bay]], graduating with a Bachelor of Science in biological sciences in 1976.<br /> <br /> == Career==<br /> <br /> === Scientific career ===<br /> Marchand began his career teaching marine biology and estuarine ecology at Point Molate Marine Laboratory and researching elephant seals at Año Nuevo State Park. He originally wanted to be an oceanographer, but because a medical condition prevents him from scuba diving, he opted to become a water quality specialist.<br /> <br /> Marchand was a water chemist at the Alameda County Water District. He joined the district in 1981 as a laboratory technician and eventually became a senior chemist in the district's operations and maintenance department. He retired in 2012 to focus on his service as mayor.<br /> <br /> Marchand became a member of the American Water Works Association in the 1990s. He is also the co-author of three books on water quality.<br /> <br /> === Acting career ===<br /> Marchand has been acting since college and met his future wife on the set of ''Babes in Toyland'', a local production, in 1972.<br /> <br /> Marchand has acted in over 25 community productions in Livermore, including plays and operas. His most prominent role was as mayor of Seville in ''Carmen'' in 2013.<br /> <br /> == Early political career ==<br /> Marchand was elected to the Zone 7 Water Agency Board of Directors in 1990. He made the decision to run after testing the water in his home and finding that the water in his own home had almost double the federal standard for trihalomethanes. Within his first six months on the board of directors, he lowered the amount of trihalomethanes in drinking water to meet federal standards. Marchand served as the board's president on two occasions and stepped down in 2005.<br /> <br /> In 2005, the Livermore City Council established the city's Commission for the Arts. Marchand was among its inaugural members and served as the commission's first presiding officer. He stepped down from the commission later that year after being elected to the city council.<br /> <br /> Marchand was first elected to the Livermore City Council in 2005. He was re-elected in 2009 and vacated his seat in 2011 after being elected mayor. His service on the city council includes four years as vice mayor and one year as acting mayor.<br /> <br /> == Mayor of Livermore ==<br /> <br /> === Elections ===<br /> Marchand was elected mayor of Livermore in 2011, defeating Barbara Hickman by 302 votes. He ran unopposed in 2014 and 2016.<br /> <br /> Marchand ran for his final term in 2018, defeated local businessowner Joshua Laine with 77% of the vote.<br /> <br /> Originally a candidate for the Zone 7 Water Agency Board of Directors, Marchand announced that he would instead run for mayor in 2022 after incumbent mayor [[Bob Woerner]] announced he would step down to focus on his health. Marchand, who was endorsed by Woerner, is opposed by local realtor Mony Nop, who ran for mayor in 2020 and managed Marchand's 2018 re-election campaign.<br /> <br /> === Tenure ===<br /> Marchand was sworn in as mayor on November 28, 2011, replacing term-limited mayor Marshall Kamena.<br /> <br /> In 2012, Marchand authored a ballot initiative to move local elections in Livermore to even-numbered years. The initiative passed, resulting in increased turnout and $300,000 in savings for the city in future elections. As a result, Marchand's first two-year term lasted for three years.<br /> <br /> On May 23, 2012, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, based in Dubna, Russia, named element 116 &quot;livermorium&quot; in honor of the Livermore Lawrence National Laboratory, which collaborated with the Dubna-based Joint Institute for Nuclear Research to discover the element. Marchand traveled to Moscow and spoke to the IUPAC during livermorium's naming ceremony on October 24, 2012.<br /> <br /> Marchand was noted for his efforts to fight graffiti as mayor. He was known to carry graffiti cleaning kits in his truck and gained press attention for personally cleaning graffiti in Livermore. In 2014, he started the Graffiti and Litter Abatement Daily, a local initiative and volunteer program to clean graffiti. In 2016, Zero Graffiti International named him Graffiti Fighter of the Year.<br /> <br /> In 2014, Marchand convened a mayor's summit to combat homelessness in the Tri-Valley area. Later that year, First Lady Michelle Obama invited Marchand to join a White House initiative to combat veteran homelessness.<br /> <br /> In 2015, Marchand met with California governor Jerry Brown in Sacramento to discuss water conservation efforts and participated in a press conference during which Brown announced mandatory water cuts and water overuse fines to combat the 2011-2017 drought. Shortly after the announcement, the city raised rates for daily water usage.<br /> <br /> The American Water Works Association awarded Marchand its National Distinguished Public Service Award in 2017 for his &quot;exceptional service and commitment to the public&quot; outside of his career as a water chemist.<br /> <br /> In 2017, Marchand passed an city council initiative to allocate $6 million to build a new city council meeting chamber and emergency operations room adjacent to city hall. The meeting chamber, named in honor of former Livermore mayor John Shirley, opened in 2019, though the first meeting in the new chamber was not held until 2022.<br /> <br /> Marchand was term-limited in 2020. He left office on December 14, 2020, and was succeeded by Woerner.<br /> <br /> == Personal life==<br /> Marchand is married to Sue McLennan, an artist and retired elementary school teacher. They met in 1972 during his freshman year of college while acting in a play and married in 1978.<br /> <br /> They have two adult sons, Dave and Steve, whom they raised in Livermore.<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Marchand, John}}<br /> {{Source Wikipedia}}</div>

Before his presidency, he represented [[Washington (state)|Washington]] in the [[United States House of Representatives]] and the [[United States Senate]] and served as the 26th [[Governor of Washington]] and as the 15th [[United States Secretary of Education]]. He is a registered [[Independent politician|independent]] and a former member of the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]].<br /> <br /> Born and raised in the [[East Bay|East Bay Area]] of [[California]], Sidun attended the [[University of Washington]] and received a [[Bachelor of Arts|bachelor of arts]] in [[political science]] in 2024, a [[Master of Public Administration|master of public administration]] in 2026, and a [[Master of Education|master of education]] in 2027. As a government official, Sidun attended [[George Mason University]] and received a [[Master of Laws|master of laws]] in 2034 and a [[Doctor of Philosophy|PhD]] in political science in 2038. Aside from [[English]], he is fluent in [[Spanish]], [[French]], and [[Esperanto]], and he is the author of over 200 novels and short stories.<br /> <br /> Sidun was a member of the [[Boy Scouts of America]] during his teenage years, eventually becoming an [[Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America)|Eagle Scout]] and a member of the [[Order of the Arrow]]; he would later go on to say that he resented the organization due to their discrimination against atheists and agnostics. During his formative years, Sidun worked as a barista at [[Starbucks]] and was a local political operative, working closely with mayors and members of Congress. He moved to [[Seattle]] in 2023 and worked as an executive assistant and caseworker for U.S. Representative [[Pramila Jayapal]] while attending the University of Washington. In 2027, Sidun began teaching civics at [[Newport High School]] in [[Bellevue, Washington]]. He also became involved with the [[Washington State Democratic Party]], leading to him becoming a delegate to the [[Democratic National Convention|2032 Democratic National Convention]] and winning a seat on the party's governing committee.<br /> <br /> Following the announcement that Jayapal would retire in [[Election|2032]], Sidun was recruited by [[Brand New Congress]] and the [[Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee]] to run for the seat. After being endorsed by those two organizations and other progressive organizations, including the [[Justice Democrats]] and the [[Sunrise Movement]], he defeated four other candidates for the Democratic nomination and received the endorsements of prominent local, state, and national leaders, including all Democrats in Washington's congressional delegation. Accruing a lot of national attention because of his age, Sidun defeated his [[Republican Party|Republican]] opponent in a landslide and was easily re-elected in [[Election|2034]] and [[Election|2036]]. Serving from ages 28 to 32, he was the [[List of youngest members of the United States Congress|youngest member of Congress]] for his first term in the House of Representatives and was the first member of Congress born in the [[21st century]]. He left the House of Representatives to become secretary of education on January 20, 2037, and was succeeded by activist [[Activism|Shae Dolan]].<br /> <br /> Following the [[United States presidential election|2036 presidential election]], which resulted in the victory of [[Jon Ossoff]], Sidun was named as a possible pick for secretary of education and publicly expressed interest in the job, citing his teaching degree and classroom experience. Following reports that he was being vetted and considered for the job, Sidun was nominated to serve as secretary of education on December 7, 2036. He was confirmed by a 88-12 vote in the Senate on January 20, 2037, and sworn in the same day. At age 32, Sidun was the youngest Cabinet secretary in U.S. history. He resigned on January 20, 2040, and was replaced by Democratic congressman [[Jamaal Bowman]].<br /> <br /> Sidun declared his candidacy for governor of Washington in the [[Washington (state)|2040 gubernatorial election]] on February 10, 2040. With little opposition in the Democratic primary, he was nominated and defeated former Republican congresswoman [[Jaime Herrera Beutler]] in the general election. Taking office at age 36, he was the first U.S. governor born in the 21st century and was the youngest sitting governor in the country throughout his tenure. He was re-elected in [[Washington (state)|2044]], defeating longtime state senator [[Brad Hawkins (politician)|Brad Hawkins]], and retired in 2048 to run for the U.S. Senate. He resigned the office on January 3, 2049, two hours before taking office in the U.S. Senate; he was succeeded by lieutenant governor and governor-elect [[Liz Lovelett]].<br /> <br /> On March 8, 2047, Sidun announced he would run for the U.S. Senate in [[Election|2048]] following U.S. Senator [[Joe Nguyen]]'s announcement that he would not seek another term. Sidun was the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination once he entered the race and defeated Republican state senator [[Jeremie Dufault]] in the general election. Sidun was consistently ranked as one of the most liberal and bipartisan members of Congress throughout his tenure. Serving from ages 44 to 48, he was the youngest sitting senator for the entirety of his tenure and was the first U.S. senator born in the 21st century. Sidun resigned the seat on January 20, 2053, just two hours before taking office as president, and was succeeded by Democratic congressman [[Activism|Kellen Hoard]].<br /> <br /> Sidun launched his [[campaign]] in the [[Election|2052 presidential election]] on February 17, 2051. On July 10, 2052, following a very close and contested primary, he was formally nominated for the presidency at the [[Democratic National Convention|2052 Democratic National Convention]] in [[St. Louis|St. Louis, Missouri]]. With Illinois senator [[Lauren Underwood]] as his running mate, he defeated Republican vice president [[Kat Cammack]] in the general election. Sidun was [[Inauguration|inaugurated]] for his first term on January 20, 2053. In [[Election|2056]], he defeated Republican senator [[Daniel Cameron]] and was [[Inauguration|inaugurated]] for his second term on January 20, 2057. He left office on January 20, 2061, with a 56% approval rating, and was succeeded by [[Maryland]] governor [[Activism|Ethan Kelly]]. Sidun is the first openly [[atheist]], the [[List of first openly LGBT politicians|first openly LGBT]], and the first [[Generation Z]] president in U.S. history; he is also the first president born in the 21st century.<br /> <br /> After leaving office, Sidun and his wife moved to [[Falls Church, Virginia]], where they lived while his wife served as secretary of education. In 2061, Sidun founded [[Political action committee|New Generation]], a DC-based [[nonprofit organization]] to elect young, progressive candidates to public office. He also began teaching political science classes at [[Georgetown University]] and became a distinguished fellow of governance studies at the [[Brookings Institution]] (from which he retired in 2073). Sidun has also focused on his writing career, having published over 150 novels and short stories since leaving office. In 2062, Sidun left the Democratic Party and became a registered independent, citing his lifelong disdain for [[Political party|political parties]] and the [[two-party system]] as reasons for his departure. In 2064, Sidun and his wife returned to the Seattle area to prepare for his wife's run for Senate; he subsequently became a political science professor at the University of Washington and continued teaching until his retirement from academia in 2074. His [[Presidential library|presidential library]], located on the University of Washington campus, opened in 2066.<br /> <br /> In 2062, Sidun received the [[Presidential Medal of Freedom]] and the [[Nobel Peace Prize]]. In 2066, Sidun and his wife were separately awarded the [[Congressional Gold Medal]] for their years of public service. His works of fiction have won him multiple awards, including four [[Pulitzer Prize for Fiction|Pulitzer Prizes for Fiction]] and, in 2068, the [[Nobel Prize in Literature]]. In addition, Sidun has also received honorary degrees in public policy and law from various colleges and institutions around the world. He was inducted into the [[California Hall of Fame]] in 2068.<br /> <br /> Sidun and his wife currently live in [[Mercer Island, Washington]], with their secondary residence in Falls Church, Virginia.</div>

Before his presidency, he represented [[Washington (state)|Washington]] in the [[United States House of Representatives]] and the [[United States Senate]] and served as the 26th [[Governor of Washington]] and as the 15th [[United States Secretary of Education]]. He is a registered [[Independent politician|independent]] and a former member of the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]].<br /> <br /> Born and raised in the [[East Bay|East Bay Area]] of [[California]], Sidun attended the [[University of Washington]], graduating with a [[Bachelor of Arts|bachelor of arts]] in [[political science]] in 2024, a [[Master of Arts|master of arts]] in political science in 2026, and a [[Doctor of Philosophy|PhD]] in political science in 2030. Sidun also attended [[George Mason University]] while serving as a government official, receiving a [[Master of Education|master of education]] in 2035 and a [[Juris Doctor|juris doctor]] in 2039. Aside from [[English]], he is fluent in [[Spanish]], [[French]], and [[Esperanto]], and he is the author of over 200 novels and short stories.<br /> <br /> Sidun was a member of the [[Boy Scouts of America]] during his teenage years, eventually becoming an [[Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America)|Eagle Scout]] and a member of the [[Order of the Arrow]]; he would later go on to say that he resented the organization due to their discrimination against atheists and agnostics. During his formative years, Sidun worked as a barista at [[Starbucks]] and was a local political operative. He moved to Seattle in 2023 and worked as an executive assistant and caseworker for U.S. Representative [[Pramila Jayapal]] while attending the University of Washington. In 2026, Sidun began teaching civics at [[Newport High School]] in [[Bellevue, Washington]]. He also became involved with the [[Washington State Democratic Party]], leading to him becoming a delegate to the [[Democratic National Convention|2032 Democratic National Convention]] and winning a seat on the party's governing committee.<br /> <br /> Following the announcement that Jayapal would retire in [[Election|2032]], Sidun was recruited by [[Brand New Congress]] and the [[Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee]] to run for the seat. After being endorsed by those two organizations and other progressive organizations, including the [[Justice Democrats]] and the [[Sunrise Movement]], he defeated four other candidates for the Democratic nomination and received the endorsements of prominent local, state, and national leaders, including all Democrats in Washington's congressional delegation. Accruing a lot of national attention because of his age, Sidun defeated his [[Republican Party|Republican]] opponent in a landslide and was easily re-elected in [[Election|2034]] and [[Election|2036]]. Serving from ages 28 to 32, he was the [[List of youngest members of the United States Congress|youngest member of Congress]] for his first term in the House of Representatives and was the first member of Congress born in the [[21st century]].

Following reports that he was being vetted and considered for the job, Sidun was nominated to serve as secretary of education on December 7, 2036. He was confirmed by a 88-12 vote in the Senate on January 20, 2037, and sworn in the same day. At age 32, Sidun was the youngest Cabinet secretary in U.S. history. He resigned on January 20, 2040, and was replaced by Democratic congressman [[Jamaal Bowman]].<br /> <br /> Sidun declared his candidacy for governor of Washington in the [[Washington (state)|2040 gubernatorial election]] on February 10, 2040. With little opposition in the Democratic primary, he was nominated and defeated former Republican congresswoman [[Jaime Herrera Beutler]] in the general election.

Sidun was the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination once he entered the race and defeated Republican state senator [[Jeremie Dufault]] in the general election. Sidun was consistently ranked as one of the most liberal and bipartisan members of Congress throughout his tenure. Serving from ages 44 to 48, he was the youngest sitting senator for the entirety of his tenure and was the first U.S. senator born in the 21st century. Sidun resigned the seat on January 20, 2053, just two hours before taking office as president, and was succeeded by Democratic congressman [[Activism|Kellen Hoard]].<br /> <br /> Sidun launched his [[campaign]] in the [[Election|2052 presidential election]] on February 17, 2051. On July 10, 2052, following a very close and contested primary, he was formally nominated for the presidency at the [[Democratic National Convention|2052 Democratic National Convention]] in [[St. Louis|St. Louis, Missouri]]. With Illinois senator [[Lauren Underwood]] as his running mate, he defeated Republican vice president [[Kat Cammack]] in the general election. Sidun was [[Inauguration|inaugurated]] for his first term on January 20, 2053. In [[Election|2056]], he defeated Republican senator [[Daniel Cameron]] and was [[Inauguration|inaugurated]] for his second term on January 20, 2057. He left office on January 20, 2061, with a 56% approval rating, and was succeeded by [[Maryland]] governor [[Activism|Ethan Kelly]]. Sidun is the first openly [[atheist]], the [[List of first openly LGBT politicians|first openly LGBT]], and the first Generation Z president in U.S. history; he is also the first president born in the 21st century.<br /> <br /> After leaving office, Sidun and his wife moved to [[Falls Church, Virginia]]. In 2061, Sidun became a distinguished fellow at the [[Brookings Institution]] and founded [[Political action committee|New Generation]], a DC-based [[political action committee]] to elect young, progressive candidates to public office. He was also brought onto the faculty of [[Georgetown University]] as a political science professor in 2061. Sidun has also focused on his writing career, having published over 150 novels and short stories since leaving office. In 2062, Sidun left the Democratic Party and became a registered independent, citing his disdain for [[Political party|political parties]] and the [[two-party system]] as reasons for his departure. The [[Presidential library|Hayden Sidun Presidential Library and Museum]] opened in 2064 in Seattle in partnership with and on the campus of the University of Washington. In 2065, Sidun and his wife moved to [[Monterey, California]]; he subsequently became a political science professor at the [[University of California, Berkeley]] and continued teaching until his retirement from academia in 2074.<br /> <br /> In 2062, Sidun received the [[Presidential Medal of Freedom]] and the [[Nobel Peace Prize]]. In 2064, Sidun and his wife were separately awarded the [[Congressional Gold Medal]] for their years of public service. His works of fiction have won him multiple awards, including four [[Pulitzer Prize for Fiction|Pulitzer Prizes for Fiction]] and, in 2068, the [[Nobel Prize in Literature]]. In addition, Sidun has also received honorary degrees in public policy and law from various colleges and institutions around the world. He was inducted into the [[California Hall of Fame]] in 2068.<br /> <br /> Sidun and his wife currently live in Monterey, California. They also own houses in Seattle, Washington, and Falls Church, Virginia.</div>
