During Tuesday's  election, Mara Guyton, an 18-year-old senior at Ada High School, was elected Democrat precinct representative for Liberty Township. She ran unopposed.

Here, Mara (left) and twin sister Olivia hold a bouquet of flowers from the Democrat legacy dinner which they attended recently in Columbus.

Mara was Olivia's campaign manager for Homecoming attendant, so, naturally, Olivia was Mara's campaign manager for precinct committee person.

Mara has high hopes...to some day be a U.S. Senator. She says she has been interested in government and politics since she was 6 years old. Sister Olivia plans to be a nurse.
