Try to get a Technocrat elected to Congress at minimum; bonus points if they are a member of a "Technocrat Party" rather than a Technocratic Democrat or Republican; extra bonus points if a Technocrat is a viable candidate in a federal election; extra special bonus points if a Technocrat becomes President (through election, coup, succession, or otherwise)*.
