Jon Huntsman Captures 2012 MFS Mock Primary Election

After months of campaigning, Jon Huntsman, represented by junior Joe Kiernan, was victorious in the Moorestown Friends School Mock Primary Election on January 10. In addition to Huntsman's victory, the school community also voted YES in favor of a 1% tax on sugar-sweetened drinks, NO for additional funding of nuclear power by the federal government, and NO to the United States joining the International Criminal Court.
