Threads:

08/23/1893: Young Woman Seeking Advice and Votes

Dinner with the professors of Hogwarts. Sweetie is giving her campaign pitch, but also asking for advice. In-Progress thread.

08/24/1893: The Homefront

Sweetie's first campaign rally. Having finished the speech and Q&A portion of the event, Sweetie is now among the crowds and co-mingling. This thread is open towards people who have follow up/new questions that Sweetie was not allotted time to address. In-Progress thread.

08/27/1893: Petty Politics

Closed elevator doors. Sweetie finds herself in the elevator with one of her candidate rivals — a.k.a. her boss. The air is awkward. Politics are likely to come up. In-Progress thread.

08/28/1893: Getting a Word in

Sweetie's third campaign rally. Hosting the Q&A portion of event and open to any questions that may come her way. This thread is open to anyone regardless of their opinion of Sweetie. Can come with questions, have side comments to the people around them, or simply quiet reactions. In-Progress thread.

Closed door discussion between Sweetie and Minister Ross. In-Progress thread.

Sweetie questions Ozymandias Dempsey qualifications to his face at the Candidates' Tea. His lack of response was her desired outcome, leaving room for those around them to judge if qualifications should have been given. Completed thread.

09/03/1893: I'm so through with compromising

Sweetie just approached Jules Ainsworth in an attempt to talk about Minister office details and get support. Doesn't know Jules just hexed Sweetie's competition. In-Progress thread.

Sweetie answers the debate questions to the best of her ability. Mandatory for continuation.

09/14/1893: No Nonsense, Time to Go

When the debate is abruptly interrupted by a dragon attack, Sweetie remains calm and — upon the orders of Minister Ross — seeks the aid of the Dragon Restraint Bureau. Displaying calm and orderly conduct under pressure, along with organizational skills and a respectful command of authority.

Everything else:

— CAMPAIGN MANAGER: he has one. Formally it is a DudeBro from Atlantis but it's actually Christabel Daphnel; it was established IC (see thread 4 above), he has asked her advice on campaign matters, and she helps with event planning and execution and did a bunch of debate prep with him (see thread 15 above).

— DRAGON STUFF: First, Oz plays messenger like Ross told him to, but then also uses his inventor skills to help the DMAC modify some spells on the fly; Second, he went and did HERO THINGS like saving a kid (which was talked about in Witch Weekly); Third, he stuck around the triage area until the early hours of the mourning; fourth, he showed up to St. Mungo's a few days later with a new invention to help burn victims. He also attended Miss Whitledge's vigil for a hot second despite having been snippy about it when she wrote to invite him.

— ENDORSEMENTS:

— from Deputy Hogwarts Head Meserimus Valenduris;
— from sometimes-politician-adjacent lawyer August Echelon-Arnost;
— from St. Mungo's Hospital Director Richard Gladstone (Kit DM'd me about it!)
— from Dept MA&C Head and Wizengamot member Edric Umbridge (noted OOC and in the article below)
— from Minister Justin Ross

— Oz reacting to campaign rumors: with Lycoris & in an open thread. I don't really care if either of these count but at least he's interesting enough to have rumors started about him ;P

— Oz didn't see his mistress for a month which means he's taking this seriously (I am joking, I am not arguing for this to count xD)

Everything else:

Not sure if it counts, but Gaius Malfoy publicly declared his support.
Aldous actively prioritizes doing his actual job during a crisis over campaigning, and thinks very poorly of those who continue politicking instead.
