Olene Finney was elected to Parliament representing Fiorina in December 2968. Finney sat on the back benches for most of her tenure. During this time, she supported various candidates for the leadership. She was one of twelve MP's who voted against Hilda Glass in 2972. In 2975, she nominated Abraham Salinger for the leadership. Despite her support, Salinger was unable to qualify for the ballot. However, once Glass resigned, Finney was instrumental in getting Salinger on the ballot. She also supported Magnolia Cayetano's bid to become interim President. Finney also actively supported Martin Straus's campaign for Deputy Leader.
