Overview
When Jackson impulsively decides to run for sixth-grade Student Council President, he has no idea what he's getting into. With barely any posters, a last-minute campaign, and no prepared speech, his only promise is extra recess and better snacks. Despite his lack of effort and focus on real issues, Jackson is confident that his popularity will guarantee a landslide victory. But can charm alone win an election?
As his opponents, Mia and Raj, run serious campaigns, Jackson realizes that winning may not be as easy as he thought. Will his laid-back approach be enough, or will hard work and dedication prevail?

Jackson, a fun-loving and popular 6th grader, is confident he will win the race for Middle School President by a landslide. Unlike his serious opponents, Raj and Mia, who have been actively campaigning, Jackson waits until the last week to throw together a few posters and a so-called speech. Yet, despite his lack of preparation, he believes his popularity and "cool factor" will be enough to secure victory.
Encouraged by his best friend, Gio, Jackson reluctantly decides to rehearse his speech. While practicing in the bathroom during algebra, he notices social media hashtags like #girlpower, #VoteForMia, and #MiaForPresident trending. At that moment the first seeds of doubt begin to take root in his previously unshakable confidence.
Can Jackson win with just his charm, or will his failure to take the campaign seriously cost him the election?
