Peter the Candidate

Peter ran for the school board. 
When he first said he was going to do it, I thought he was just entertaining the idea of doing it.  But, a few days later he came home and said he had dropped off his candidate application- he was serious. 
We did not do any campaigning and we really should have.  With about 2 weeks to go, I was really wishing we had done something.  
He lost, by quite a bit and the incumbent won.
He really did not want the new $700 million bond to pass and it did too. He spoke out against the bond every chance he had to speak- news articles, debates, meet and greets.  
I really was so very proud of him. 
Maybe we will try again and hope for a different result and make some signs and fliers.
