The following people will be the political representatives supporting our ideas as us, the students of Carlmont, become adults. Although the students did not have a say in who was elected this term, the same people will be running for our ideas as we gain more say in our community.

The new governor of California will be Jerry Brown after defeating Meg Whitman in the polls.  He has been involved with the California communities previous but decided to run once again after 28 years.

During this 2010 Election run, Boxer struggled against muti-million ads against her in competition with opponent Carly Fiorina. The polls were close with  Boxer at 52% support over 48%  for Fiornia.
