Michael Sessions is too young to drink champagne legally, but the 18-year-old high school senior has reason to celebrate: He unofficially won a race for mayor Tuesday by defeating the baby boomer incumbent.
Sessions, who turned 18 on Sept. 22, ran as a write-in candidate because he was too young to get on the ballot in the spring. The young politician used $700 from a summer job to fund his door-to-door campaign in Hillsdale, Mich., a town of about 9,000. http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/20051110/pl_usatoday/gogetter18oustsmayorinmichigan
Good on yah, Mayor Sessions!
This blog thinks, even without knowing his politics, that this gentleman embodies the spirit of what we hope to accomplish here. Get involved.
