Free candy or jet rides? How about EVERY child left behind?

With election a few days off, Rose Sitzman's North Ward first graders tried their hands at making campaign promises, ranging from fun to poignant.

"I would give everyone a ride on my jet to anywhere they want to go" -- Dakota Lavery.

"I would have lots of men bring a truckload of candy to our school" -- Allison Reese.

"I would close all schools forever" -- Madison Crow.
