Dominika Maya Murray (née Muverovich; born June 27th, 1970) is a Cappedorite politician, diplomat, writer, and photographer who has served as Chancellor of Cappedore from June 2018 to January 2023. She has been Member of the Gemotern for Phoenix, Thomaria, since 2009. During her premiership, she has faced major problems with Thomarian seperatists, especially in her current town of residence, where she has lived for over 20 years. Murray is Cappedore's first female Chancellor, and is the first woman to have held more than three of the Great Offices of State since former president Mary Jane Revie.
Murray grew up in Ivyland and attended Blackpool Grammar School after having moved away from Nassau at the age of four. After finishing a full two years of sixth form there, she went on to study Politics at Chepstow University in Shinrarta. After graduating in 1991, she worked at the Bank of Cappedore and the Association for Payment Clearing Services. She also served as a councillor for Ulysford in Merton. After two unsuccessful attempts to be elected to the Gemotern, she was elected as the MG for Phoenix at the 2009 general election. From 2010 to 2018, Murray held several roles in the cabinets of Cleveland Durand and Thomas Yates respectively. She was also Chairman of the Social Democratic Party from 2011 to 2015.
Following the formation of the coalition government after the 2009 general election, Murray was appointed Minister of State for Transport and later Chairman but gave up her first role in 2011. She soon became the Secretary of Foreign Affairs following the CSDP and CLU's narrow election victory in 2016. During her tenure she pursued reform of Cappedorite foreign affairs policy, implemented a more liberal line of immigration policy including the inclusion of lesser recognised religions in national visa applications. She also oversaw the introduction of an elected Board of Foreign Affairs, the deportation of Kiaran Graves in a joint effort with the Ministry of National Affairs and the creation of the College of Immigration and Human Migration. May opposed the unsuccessful Isles Out of The Union campaign for the United Isles to leaved the United Republic.
Murray stood the CSDP leadership election to succeed Thomas Yates, who resigned after he was indicted in federal court after a controversy about the use of ecstasy engulfed the cabinet. She began the process of integrating the United Isles with the United Republic, triggering Article 100 in June 2018. The same month, she announced a snap general election, with the hopes of clearing the CSDP's name and reassuring the people that the party didn't reflect the mistakes of Yates.
