Campaign
Headed into election day, Jessica Moy seemed favored as the only Senior candidate in the race. However, as the top two students would be sent, the race remained extremely volatile. The night before the election, an article was published on The Spinnaker, the school's newspaper, endorsing Grimes and purporting that God had endorsed Grimes. In response students Anna Parks and Anna Davis forwarded their own campaigns, though they were far past the deadline of application. After brief yet intense whining, both secretly endorsed Grimes. The posts remained on the newspaper's Instagram before being taken down by William Loughlin, who was pretty mad about it.

Election Day
On election day, Grimes engaged in a wide effort across the school to attain votes. His connections to sophomore students Blake Martini and Ryan Lynch respectively helped him win many votes from the underclassmen demographic. However, Grimes lost votes from both of his "friend" groups, detracted by Quinn Walsh and William Loughlin. Late in the race, Grimes was purported to be losing both the first and second spot.

Results
In a surprise turnaround, both Grimes and campaign ally Quinn Walsh won seats. The results were celebrated by Grimes as well as department head Christopher Luvisi. Losers Calder Frattaroli and William Loughlin, both of whom's names are not recognized as actual words by the Wikipedia spellcheck system, made fun of Grimes for not winning the election outright. Grimes responded by reminding them that neither of them would be going to Boston, which made them both seethe.
