One problem with school elections is that there really aren't any true issues, or at least nothing that anyone cares that much about. Isn't it generally about popularity? Also, the kids have very little power to do anything substantive if elected. They are mostly figureheads. This is why my S never ran when he was in hs and D was never interested before this year either. D did mention 2 issues that she cared about in her speech. Not sure either one would lend themselves well to a poster concept, though.

Edit: that's not to say the students don't do any work. They do. They just don't have a lot of decision-making ability. It seems they execute what the advisor wants done, which is usually what has been done in the past.
