I'd add a Representative Isabella Ward. A newly elected (in 2008 after a 6 year service as part of the Tenessee legislature) Congressional Representative who rose up to national prominence in the early handwavium hysterias and riding off of the war-heroism of her brother, one Louis-Reynold Ward, a former major in the US Army Corps of Engineers who was crippled in action when his unit blundered into the HQ compound of the guys who would become ISIS/the da'esh in our timeline and wiped out the fledgeling terror organization before it could properly organize and stabilized the north-western part of Iraq greatly in the process. Their family has noted white supremacist members in the semi-recent past (1980s), and their parents died under mysterious circumstances in the fall of 2009.
She's one of the primary annoyances for my character and the crusaders he's caring for, mostly out of familial blood-feuding and spite when he refused to live up to their parents low example and kicked her out of the family and the relatively pitiful family holdings when she tried to use his status to boost her career and organize discrete hate groups in the appalachians. Arranges for the state police and NG to find out about his handwavium use and for a good chase to chase him up into orbit in mid 2013 in order to get back at the family contacts and resources, as well as getting at his spare handwavium stocks for her own nefarious uses.
