Dalton

Dalton exists in the series as a surnamed, instrumental congressional representative summoned by Leo McGarry for tightly managed political optics. The episode positions Dalton as a procedural presence: named, corralled, and held for a staged press briefing tied to F.E.C. nominations and messaging. No first name, constituency, or personal motive appears; Dalton functions as a selectable public face within Leo’s tactical playbook rather than as an independently developed character. Across the processed material Dalton’s role remains performative and administratively constrained.
