Barbara Hallowes is a United States senator from Nevada.

Background[]

Personal[]

She is viewed by Vice President Selina Meyer's staff as being a miserly and cranky lady, as she is a thorn in the side of Meyer's agenda. She has a daughter Carol, whom Dan Egan winds up having a relationship with in order to advance his political career.

Professional[]

Hallowes politically is aligned with the plastics and oil industries.

U.S. Senate[]

Hallowes appears to have a long history serving alongside Selina Meyer in the Senate. Hallowes acquired communications director Dan Egan from an Ohio congresswoman.

In 2013, after a member of Meyer's team sent tweet inadvertently repelling the plastics industry, Meyer offered Hallowes a position on her Clean Jobs commission. Hallowes turned her down flat, claiming that she does not want to piss off oil.

Hallowes mentions that Meyer's rogue "tweeter" was "hoisted by his own retard". After Meyer controversially used the joke at an event, Egan leaked to the press that Hallowes goaded Meyer into using the joke, as well as outing late Senator David Reeves as a sexual predator.

Following the 2016 presidential election, it is mentioned that Hallowes was doing ground work for the recount in Nevada.
