In 1981 Ojeda graduated from {{W|Ohio State University}}, where he earned a {{W|Bachelor of Science|bachelor's degree}} in history and a {{W|master's degree}} in political science. He volunteered in the Continental Army as a paratrooper and served as part of security details for Continental administrators in the [[United People's Committees]]. Later he took part in the [[Antillean War]] and the [[Central American crisis]]. Being promoted to a company commander, Ojeda commanded a commando unit on the ground during [[Operation Aladdin]], which airlifted 16,000 refugees to the United Commonwealth from Central America. In 1996 he would retire from the military at the rank of {{W|Lieutenant colonel (United States)|lieutenant colonel}} and return to his native Ohio, working as a labor organizer and teacher. That year he was appointed Party Secretary of the Isaiahsburg district, and in November was elected as a delegate to the National People's Congress and the [[Continental Congress of America]] for the state of Ohio. In 1999 he would be transferred to [[Warrentopia]] to oversee the state of Ohio's branch of the [[Organizational Bureau of the Central Committee of the United Commonwealth|Organizational Bureau of the Central Committee]].

In 2001 he would be elected to the [[Central Committee of the 32nd Congress of the Continentalist Party of the United Commonwealth|32nd]] [[Central Committee of the Continentalist Party|Central Committee]], continuing to serve as a member of subsequent central committees to the present. Aligning himself with party veterans such as [[Helene Poirier]] and [[Tyler Durden]] of the American government, Ojeda rose quickly through the ranks and was elected Chairman of the [[Council of People's Commissars of the American Continental Republic|Council of People's Commissars]] of the [[American Continental Republic]] in 2004, where he would serve as the chief of the republic's executive branch until 2010. In this position, Ojeda made a name for himself as a hardline party member of the [[Jackson Rothko]] administration, with a tough stance on corruption. In 2007 Ojeda received national attention for his breaking up of a [[2007 Midatlantic Housing Scandal|major housing and urban development scandal]], which resulted in the resignation of [[People's Commissar for Housing and Development]] [[Gregory Bateman]]. | ||
In the late 2000s, Ojeda was frequently floated as a possible future national leader following Rothko's retirement, being elected to the [[Secretariat of the United Commonwealth|Secretariat]] in 2009 by the [[Central Committee of the 34th Congress of the Continentalist Party of the United Commonwealth|34th Central Committee]]. In 2010 Ojeda supported the election of [[Helene Poirier]] as [[President of the United Commonwealth|President]] and was appointed as a deputy to the [[Presidium of the 25th National People's Congress|25th]] [[Presidium of the National People's Congress|Presidium]] under her leadership. While on the presidium, he oversaw several commissions, including a 2014 Commission for Defense and Military Reform, and a 2015 Cyberspace Commission. He remained one of only a few members of the administration that carried over into the tenure of [[Anthony Malito]] after 2016. In 2018 Ojeda would play a major role in the removal of Malito from office, and was speculated by foreign observers to be a very likely successor to him should the removal be actualized. Appointed acting Vice President, Ojeda ''de facto'' oversaw the affairs of the Presidium in late 2018 and was believed to be courted by Malito to secure his position. Instead Ojeda aligned himself with fellow Secretariat member [[Daniel Muir]], who would be appointed president after a close vote in the National People's Congress following the [[2020 United Commonwealth legislative election]]. As part of the Muir administration, Ojeda would be appointed his second-in-command as [[First Secretary of the Continentalist Party of the United Commonwealth|First Secretary of the Continentalist Party]]. He would also be appointed [[Premier of the United Commonwealth|Premier]] of the [[Council of People's Commissars]] while retaining his previous positions, making him highly influential in Continental administration. As such Ojeda is rumored to be a possible successor to Muir as [[List of leaders of the United Commonwealth|paramount leader]] after 2024. | In the late 2000s, Ojeda was frequently floated as a possible future national leader following Rothko's retirement, being elected to the [[Secretariat of the United Commonwealth|Secretariat]] in 2009 by the [[Central Committee of the 34th Congress of the Continentalist Party of the United Commonwealth|34th Central Committee]].
