Mallory inspires student to run for president

A diverse crowd continues to mingle and have fun at Mark Mallory's election party inside the Millennium Hotel. Supporters range from shaggy young hipsters in T-shirts and blue jeans to old judges in blue three-piece suits.

There was also a great diversity in ages. One of the youngest supporters was Ray Cook III, an 11-year-old Sands Montessori student. Ray said he helped put up signs and spent some time at Mallory's campign headquarters. It was inspirational enough to help Ray decide to run for student council president at the school.

"I learned some, like hang up a lot of signs and keep it honest," he said.
