I shared in Marcus’s and Emma’s joy when the news that Ad Astra won the election came in via Twitter. The only drawback was trying to decipher the post-celebration interviews over the coalition’s shouting and crying in the background. Although being a member of the Kansan I wasn’t allowed to campaign in any form, I got swept up in the drastically different atmospheres of the evening as it turned from quiet anxiety to victorious camaraderie.
