Damian Gauss

Damian Jordan Gauss (b. March 18, 1992) is a Georgeland politician and former professional footballer. He is the founder and Chairman of the People's Party of Long Island and a significant figure in the Long Island government, although he does not hold any ministerial office. Gauss is the son of Janet Gauss, who is the leader of Vox, of which the People's Party is a major component.

Gauss' professional football career began at 16, but ended prematurely through a serious spinal injury after a car accident in 2015, which left him a paraplegic. He became a disability rights advocate and a political activist, and entered politics in 2017, aged only 25, when he was elected as an independent to the Legislature of Long Island.  In 2019, Gauss founded the People's Party, which won 20% of the vote and nine seats in the snap election held that year.

Gauss is a prominent powerbroker in Long Island politics, and one of the main leaders of the Vox movement, but he holds no office other than his seat in Long Island.

Personal life
Gauss began dating Rebecca Wickham in 2016. The couple live in Dannyburg.
