Carlos Guzman Media Counselor Many counselors agree that this year’s election is very different from any they have seen before. There are many odd trends stemming from this election. For one, all of the Federalist candidates that were elected during the primary election are from Marshall County. The only Federalist candidate not from Marshall County is Lieutenant Governor candidate Nathaniel Strifler of Pershing County. Strifler was appointed by gubernatorial candidate Bryce Johnston. Not only are the Fabulous Five Federalists all from the same county, four of them are from the City of Lane! The final trend is that of the twelve candidates from both parties, four currently attend Blue Valley North High School. Three are Nationalists and one is a Federalist.

Will it be the Federalists or the Nationalists? The choice is yours staters! Vote now. Vote wisely.]]>
