Platform: Brockenborough has proposed a slightly increase of spending, and introducing education and labour market reforms in order to make Nylander economy more competitive. At the same time, he proposes to introduce single-payer, which he believes it is a pragmatic and feasible health care reform. He has also promised an increase on investment on infraestructures.
Brockenborough has also proposed improvements in law enforcement, and more transparent and efficient judiciary system. Despite being considered left-leaning inside the New Centrist List, he has supported President Kohout's Military Modernization Act. On foreign policy, he has been described as a "realist interventionist".
On immigration, Brockenborough has rather proposed to keep the status quo. He has declared that anti-immigration legislation would only cause Nylander economic to be less competitive and sustainable, and therefore "making our country poorer and weaker".
On education, Brockenborough has proposed a more progressive system in order to make college affordable for working and middle classes, lowering tuition fees and endind the increasing problem of student debt. He has also proposed to further implement an education reform aimed to improve and strengthen trade schools.
He has also promised to increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour before the end of his term, while he has promised to remove bureucratic obstacles to the creation of companies and increasing credit to new entrepeneurs. He believes that a "tax revolution" is no longer needed after the 1579 tax reform, but that the taxation system could be improved through some limited reforms, such as introducing a further progressive scale, lowering corporate tax if economic growth decreases, or introducing environmental taxation.
Brockenborough has scolded the calms by conservative candidates who support a ban on abortion, declaring that such policy "would only increase and rise the number of abortions" while "threatening women's lives" at the same time. He has added recently that "such kind of crackpot fanaticism...does not belong to this century". He has promised to veto such legislation as president if it were ever passed by the parliament. However, although, the Nylander Centrist Democrat Alliance electoral platform has supported a pro-choice stand, Brockenborough has promised that no reform on this issue is expected without a wide support of most political groups as he believes that it "is a serious issue in which wide consensus is required". Such consensus should be realistic and pragmatic enough, he has declared.
On foreign policy, Brockenborough has been described as a "realist interventionist". He has proposed to further strengthen and modernize Nylander Armed Forces, through constant, reasonable and gradual investment. While he has declared that Nyland commitments must be realistic, he believes that Nyland needs to show the moral leadership that very often "Nyland has been afraid to lead", as the only way to protect Nylander interests, which can only be assured under the strangthening of stability and rule of law, and regional cooperation. He has declared that Nyland should have the "responsability to protect" populations from mass atrocity crimes and human rights violations and to promote democracy and Nylander values.
Brockenborough, however, is also a proponent to strengthen diplomatic initiatives, and he has promised to further develop and lead regional cooperation in Skathia, in order to protect Nylander interests and improve stability along the regions, on the fields of economic trade, national security, and military policy.
Political/Campaign History: James Brockenborough was a SDAP member for more than twenty years, after joining while studying Law and Constitutional Jurisprudence in the University of Rosdam. He was elected to the Nylander Assembly for first time in 1564, being reelected three times. In 1578, he resigned in order to join a position in the Department of Homeland Security, under the leadership of Secretary Alexandrine Leville.
Brockenborough, however, was disappointed about how radicals were taking over the SDAP during and after the leadership of Agnetha Norup. He left the SDAP in early 1580, only a few months before the alliance between SDAP and PAN resulted in the creation in the Nylander Popular Assembly, which Brockenborough regarded as "a political cult of unelectable mountebanks". He joined the New Centrist List in late 1580, and in 1582 he was elected to the Nylander Assembly again, where he has been working recently mostly on labour and health care issues lately.
He announced his candidacy to Nylander Centrist Democratic Alliance in early 1584, and was elected candidate on Septem 1584, after defeating Emma Nystroem and former Speaker Lenna Schenkenberg in a contested primaries.
