I WANNA RUN...

Name - Avery Hollister
Age - 22
Date of Birth - October 23, 1991
Platform - Earlier in the year, Avery ran on the following platforms:
"Pro-Education - School should be free, and it should be quality. Avery Hollister wants to see everyone excited about learning and those providing education properly compensated. Every child needs an individual approach to learning, and with the proper spending and attention placed on our school system, that can happen. Investing in Education is Investing in the Future!
Pro-Community - To take care of your community, you have to care about it. Avery Hollister wants to help you take care of your own neighborhood. That means urban renewal, community garden spaces, free community classes and co-learning, and neighborhood barbecues, lessons, and meetups!
Pro-Small Business - You should be able to look into the eyes of the person that sells you something, and know that they've taken the time and care to make sure that it's a quality product. No one knows the community and the customer like a small, local business owner, and no one needs more support from the community when disaster strikes! Things go wrong in Destiny City, and it's often the small business owner that suffers.
Pro-Civic Duty & Environmentalism Take care of where you live! Voting for Avery Hollister is voting for clean-up projects and volunteer days, longer hours as animal shelters, and sponsoring groups who are paying attention to the way humanity is treating the world. "

However, due to the events over the past few months, including several attacks on her own person, she has turned her attention heavily to Public Safety.

Agenda - She's defending her spot on the council, and feels it was too short a term to get enough done.

I WANNA HELP...

Name - Kess Reever
Age - 24
Profession/school - Owner of 'The Spot'.
What you care about - Kess is a local business owner and has her fingers in a lot of pies around town. She cares about who represents the city.
Agenda - She's keeping an eye on the political scene of Destiny City, and hoping someone pro-Chaos gets elected.

I WANNA HELP...

Name - Sierra Ancieto
Age - 14
Profession/school - Meadowview High
What you care about - Education, obviously! We need money in the schools to keep arts and sports programs around. As a cheerleader and budding artist (as well as future lawyer) Sierra is very interested in participating.
Agenda - Helping Avery. She's too young to vote but this is a valuable learning process for her!

ICly, should I assume that an election was held, and Avery won, or rather that they decided her seat should be permanent?
