Carter Degroose Morris (born May 1, 1980) is a Gjorkan politician who is currently serving as the 13th President of Gjorka since 2021. Before entering the presidency she served as a member of the National Assembly of Gjorka from Baltimore.
Morris was born in Baltimore, and attended the University of Baltimore. Following her graduation, she attended Alicia University Law School, but dropped out her second year to pursue a political career. In 2004, she began working as a staffer for assembly member Melissa Turnip. In 2006 she challenged Turnip for her seat in the National Assembly, and in a major upset won the primary for Gjorka United's nomination allowing her to become a member of the National Assembly in the 2006 election. During her time in the Assembly, Morris became the head of the controversial Wolf Caucus, became Deputy Minority Leader, and fierce critic of President Roman Vanderburg. In 2020 she announced her candidacy for President. She successfully earned Gjorka United's nomination for the 2021 presidential election and selected John Burreaux to be her running mate. She defeated Forward Gjorka nominee Julian Vanderburg in the election winning just 32.4%, the lowest of any elected President. During her Presidency, Morris has had a strong international focus with her hosting the 2022 Gjorka City summit, founding the Ostlandet Union, and signing a mutual defense treaty with New Gandor among others. Domestically, she has been criticized for her lack of action.
