This election already had SO MANY fun perks.

Grabbing a plate of nachos and piling them high ~~don't judge it's been ages since he's had nachos ok~~ he noticed two of his...competitors? Was that the right word? Whatever, they were already there, and he happened to know both of them! Josephina and Nolan went way back to the Hufflepuff days and then taught at Hogwarts together, and he knew Roxanne from her days as a department head. As he continued to add condiments to his nachos to the point where they were more salsa than nacho, he grinned at the two ladies and gave them a wave.

"Roxanne, Josephina, or should I say fellow candidates," he greeted them with a chuckle. "How have you two been?! Ready to get this circus underway?" he asked. Because let's be real - that's what this whole thing was about to become. He'd been in an election before, and at one point during that whole debacle, he'd been DUNKED in a DUNK TANK. He could only imagine what challenges the run for the highest office in the British Wizarding Ministry would throw at them...

He couldn't WAIT.

Finally deciding on both types of cheeses, as well as some ground beef and diced tomatoes, Roxanne was loading up her plate when she was approached by a fellow candidate. "Hello, Nolan," she replied pleasantly. "Oh, I've been good, but I'm glad to be back in Britain, even if it is just for a few hours." Her son was here, after all, and even though Ronan was currently at Hogwarts it was nice knowing she was close by if anything should happen.

Everything had worked out in the end and she was very happy where she was in life, which of course was why she hadn't even thought about running. When her husband had come to her saying he was running she couldn't have been more proud.

Now she was here to support her husband and her friend. Jorge was a good friend and she found humor in the two men running against each other. This was going to be some fun dinner dates between the four of them at some point. She knew they were adults and would be fair towards each other. She noticed Roxanne the minute she walked into the food area and smiled. She wasn't surprised to see her running again. Turning her attention to the food she went over and filled a plate before looking at the rest of them.

"Hello everyone."

A quick nod was sent Victoria's direction, as Roxanne had just taken a bite of nacho and she wasn't one to talk with her mouth full. It was a kind of pet peeve of hers, and she liked to keep her own food in her mouth as well.

She left Jorge to mingle on his own so he could talk to some of the constituents himself. She thought she'd talk to a few herself, though she was more interested in talking to some of the other candidates. Mariel was interested in not only knowing their individual stances on the issues but how it might affect her husband's campaign.

Nachos. She had thought it an interesting choice of refreshment for this meet and greet, though really she knew it was rather appropriate for this choice of venue. And surprisingly enough she did like nachos, given that she loved a lot of Spanish foods. So she made a plate for herself loaded with toppings and made her way over to the group.

She noted Victoria and Mercedes there already in conversation, and she gave them a jovial nod and smile. She could engage in some small talk with them as well, but she was mostly here to talk to the candidates, three of which were already here, and she approached them.

"Hello, Mrs. Nairne.. Mr. Reynolds.. Ms. Carter.. nice to see you all out tonight." Or most of them at least, but she kept her expression impassive and she knew how to remain civil. "I'm certainly interested in hearing what everyone's most important platform is." Bigger smile. Of course, she would expect all the candidates to think of more than one issue to be important, but there would always be one issue most important to each of them, and that was what she was interested in right now.

And there went continuing her nachos, at least for the short-term. But, answering voter questions was why they were here. Why, oh why did it have to be this particular voter first? Though, she was remaining civil, so that was good.

"Honestly, I'd have to say that providing better options for mental health care is the most important to me. As it is, those with mental health issues are currently either thrown in St. Mungo's and forgotten about, are expected to 'tough it out' or have to go abroad to get help, options that cause Britain to loose some of our best and brightest. Providing access to therapy, for one, would prevent some of this." It was certainly something that was personal to her. Though, that was something Roxanne was going to keep to herself as long as possible. Just because she was a candidate, it didn't mean that everyone had to know her business. Besides, people would be less likely to vote for someone who had mental health issues.

She was sooo glad the Daily Prophet hadn't seemed to recover from the fire.
