Mayoral Race
Joey originally began to run when his girlfriend said he did too little for the community. However, his girlfriend dumped him. "She said I didn't care enough about hegemony.", he said.
His party, "Is Awesome", was selected so on the ballot it stated that Joey Lombard (Is Awesome). Later, he regretted the fact he did not register his party as "Is Totally Awesome", after realizing he could used three words to describe his party.
Believing that his awesomeness would be boosted by his incorruptibility obtained by never holding office before, he also said he would make a great mayor because of his many years of playing Sim City.
His run was not advertised as most other candidates do, spread completely by word of mouth.

In the end, he received around 400 votes, enough to take sixth place out of eleven. He and his victory party were seen on an interview on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
