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.
