The new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man
of the people, ready to listen to their problems, but only until 6 pm. Then he
has to do his homework. Michael Sessions, 18, beat former mayor Doug Ingles,
51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is America's
youngest mayor.
As Sessions was too young to enter the
election in the spring of 2005, he registered to vote on Sept. 22, one day
after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in
campaign, which meant he should persuade voters to remember his name and write
it by hand on the voting ballots(选票).
To help get his name known, Sessions
earned$700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and
put them on the Hillsdale's lawns.
Sessions' month-long campaign included going
door to door, explaining his ideas of the town's future in the kitchens of his
neighbours. "They'd look at me, and say 'How old are you again? How much
experience do you have?' And I say 'I'm still in high school'," he said.
Sessions promised Hillsdale's voters he would renew the local economy. "I
was hopeful the whole time," he explained. One day he spent so long out on
the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency
room.
Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get
in the way of his job as a mayor. "From 7:50 am to 2:30 pm, I'll be a
student. From 3 to 6, I'll be the mayor of Hillsdale," he said.
"He did a very brave thing that couldn't
have been easy for him to do," said Jack Vettel, a councilman in
Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles south-west of Detroit. "He does
care about this town. He's been here all his life."
Sessions will receive$3,600 a year during this
four-year term, and will work out of his bedroom since the town does not
provide the mayor with an office.
