The Wabash general election of 2015 was the 1st time an election occurred for the Senate of the Wabash and for the position of the Chief Superior of the Wabash. Immediately after the removal of Marianne Beaumont, a snap election occurred when the Samuel O'Connor declared the Wabash Confederation a sovereign, democratic republic on June 4th. Two political parties developed during the course of the course of the election, the Conservative-Libertarian Party and the Progressive Nationalist Party. It was the first time in the nations history since the 40's an election occurred without international disputes. The difference in political spending between the two political candidates were some of the most drastic on the North America continent.

In the Wabash Green Party, Christina Washington was selected as the formal candidate and became a hopeful for the party. She had been the former Mayor of Chicago and was an experienced government official and was in her prime age. Conservatives and Libertarians joined forces on June 7th, declaring their intentions to run together against the 'statist' forces of the Nationalists and the Green Party. One June 8th, the political forces of the leftist nationalists and centrists joined with the far-left progressives to create a catch-all party to unify the left-wing in the country. Within the deal, the Nationalists demanded that the military leader, who had not sought political office be chosen. On June 10th, Samuel O'Connor was approached by the Progressive Nationalists to run against Christina Washington in the party's primary election, accepting at a makeshift military office in Chicago. During the primaries, Washington displayed Samuel O'Connor as a fascist, supportive of sexism, racism and at one point genocide. O'Connor would defeat Washington by a 52% majority, a slim victory that many saw foreshadowing a political flop of O'Connor.

In the primaries for the the Conservative-Libertarian Party, the first open jungle election included twelve candidates; with two weak candidates taking the majority of the votes. Judy Bayer was elected on June 6th, and was consider by most as a political favorite of Missouri and the already conservative populace of the Wabash. Daughter of a pastor, a devout Southern Baptist and a well rounded small business owner, Bayer campaigned heavily on these aspects before the debates, trying to gain an edge over O'Connor. Once she began displaying signs of homophobia and racism, polls showed that she became distasteful with the moderate voter. Her elegant speaking, dodging questions showed distasteful with voters, with most regarding O'Connor's straight forward speaking and calmness as 'superior'. On election day, O'Connor carried the nation with 66% of the vote, claiming a devastating victory against his younger and more favorable opponent.

Within a week, both candidates campaigned heavily to catch the attention of the voters. Using internet activism, O'Connor answered many questions from the youth on sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Many questioned O'Connor on the issue of internet privacy, which he responded in support of in a tweet, guaranteeing in the constitution he wrote that such freedoms do apply. Revealing the Constitution of the Wabash, many marveled at the document with much fanfare, including that of many libertarians. Being the de facto 'incumbent' leader of the country at the time of democratization, many saw both O'Connor and democracy as synonymous. Chants at Northwestern University cried "Without one, we have neither!", farmers lined their tractors and paraded their stock in support for the military general. In Missouri, many questioned O'Connors religiosity and at one point some considered him Jewish or a Canaanite. Bayer fueled many of the rumors when she attend a Church and gave a speech in which she demanded that "...the Church and state be one."The Catholic and the now liberalized Presbyterian and Lutheran churches rallied against the Baptists of Missouri and Bayer, claiming that such a demand would lead the country back to the twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth administrations.

Concerning class warfare, O'Connor rode heavily on the notion that the middle-class had suffered under the corporate system of the Wabash. International researchers were allowed into the country to inspect the living conditions of the nation, and in turn the results showed that Hoosiers were some of the impoverished in North America. O'Connor demanded that the next Senate create a minimum wage, social security, and a new progressive tax on the wealthiest of the nation. O'Connor's statements on the economy sent donors fleeing to Bayer, where they gave her nearly 4 billion dollars in campaign contributions. Aided by volunteers, and small contributions, O'Connor stuck heavily to speeches and town hall meetings.
