Lexi Carter looked over at her brother, Jack, who was occupying the passenger seat in her car. She wondered how to best approach the subject but then decided there was no time for subtlety.
“So, Jack, about the election,” Lexi started the conversation.
“Yes, Lexi?” Carter replied hesitantly.
“Do you know who you are going to endorse? The voting closes at midnight,” Lexi continued.
“Yeah, I know. No one,” Jack said flatly hoping to end the discussion.
“I thought you might feel that way,” Lexi said.”But I have an idea.”
“You usually do,” Jack interrupted.
“Listen for a minute before you say anything,” she glanced over at him long enough to see his hod of agreement.”The ballots have a spot for a write in candidate.”
“You want me to endorse someone not even running?” Jack asked. It was her turn to nod. “So who did you have in mind?”
“Dr. Henry Deacon,” Lexi said proudly.
Jack is stunned for a moment but soon recovers.”Lex, That's brilliant.”
“I know,” Lexi said as she pulled into an empty parking space in front of the Sheriff's office.
Jack went in and turned on his computer. He fired up his email browser and mass emailed the voters in the town.

Subject: The election
Dear Citizens of Eureka,
I have been slow to endorse a candidate before now, because I wasn't sure who I was voting for yet. But now I know. My choice will come as a surprise as I am going to write in my candidate, Dr. Henry Deacon.
Dr. Deacon has been the center of this town for the two years I have lived here. He knows what the town needs and tries to provide it. He is also there for the town in any crisis. He has sacrificed much for the good of the town and that is what I look for in a mayor.
I hope you will join me in voting Dr. Henry Deacon for mayor before the polls close tonight at midnight.
Sincerely,
Jack Carter, Sheriff.
