Is a devout Telemonese Orthodox Christian and descended from one of Telamon\\\'s and the ULPT\\\'s greatest political heroes, Prime Minister Ian Wright, who led the fight to legalize religion in Telamon back in the 2450s, when the party was still known as the Telamon Tourism Industry Employees Union. She is married to a TNP MP and a former professor of religion. Priya Sarah Almsley: From Sevescia and is the only member of the current ULTP leadership in the race.
