Cole H. Ketchup

Cole Heinz Ketchup (born October 11, 1976) is an American politician and businessman currently serving as a United States Representative from the state of West. As a member of the Democratic Party, he was elected to the House in 2000, being re-elected in 2002 and 2004.

Born in Los Angeles, West, Ketchup attended the University of Southern California, majoring in molecular biology. Soon afterwards, Ketchup started up ResearchCell, an agrochemical biotechnology corporation in 1997, riding on massive success with a new fertilizer formula created two years prior. Eventually, ResearchCell was bought by Monsanto in 1999 for a hefty $300 million after developing new ways to store urea nitrogen fertilizer, of which $100 million was given to Ketchup as part of the buyout plan. Following the buyout by Monsanto, Ketchup resigned as president of the company and founded the philanthropist organization Luck for Lucy, designed to help women and girls in lower-class neighborhoods attend higher education in the United States and Canada.

In 2000, following the Great Reset, Ketchup announced his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives for the West as a Democrat, which used a multi non-transferable vote. Ketchup was elected with 12.0% of the vote, serving alongside six other members of the West delegation. Ketchup also ran for chairman of the Democratic Party, but lost to Al Gore III. Ketchup later became a member of the Democratic National Committee and Vice Chairman, where he served until his departure from the Democratic Party in 2005.
