18 Year Old Mayor

Saw this on Countdown last night. Keith actually had the kid on his show. Michael Sessions won the race for mayor in Hillsdale, MI. He defeated the 51-year old incumbent by 2 votes. Sessions was not 18 when it was required to register to be on the ballot so he actually ran a write-in campaign. He spent $700 on the campaign. I’ve heard of this happening quite a few times but the fact that it was a write-in campaign and so close makes this one so special. Apparently he even got to read the Top 10 last night on Letterman, Top Ten Good Things About Being An 18-Year-Old Mayor.
