Venturer Election Today


The Venturer Election was held today.  We used the Australian voting method to allow for more student second and third choices.  The photo above shows the candidates for the Venturer Senate.  We are very proud of them for taking a risk in running for this office.  It is not always easy to write a speech and give it to your peers.  Kudos to all of you!

The official results are now in.  The results have been double checked by Earnst and Young the famous accounting firm.  Mrs. Cook has nothing to do with the "young" part of it since she will turn 58 this week.

The election results were very close.  Their term of office will expire sometime at the beginning of the second semester.  Students may run again for a second term, or choose to retire from public office.  Mrs. Cook and I are very proud of each and every one of you for your willingness to serve the Venturer Nation.

Our new Senators are:
Brian, Lillian, Jenny, Madison, and Mallory

These five senators need to see Mrs. Cook and me tomorrow during CREW so that we can plan our first meeting.

  1. Oh no way! Even though I was kinda rooting on grace brown, I'm glad to see that nice people got the vote.
