Complete story — includes the ending

Paul nominates Kevin to run for 1970 RFK Junior High Student Council President against his long-time nemesis Becky Slater. Paul then recruits Doug, Randy, and Tommy for Kevin's campaign team; but after three weeks of battling Becky at school with pranks, they're no match for Becky and her highly-organized campaign team. Tommy then tempts Kevin with a copy of Becky's election speech; but after Paul introduces him as an honest and true every-man, Kevin's conscience gets the best of him and he concedes from the race, thereby losing the election. Kevin thinks he has something in common with Richard Nixon, recalling his 1974 resignation speech. Recurring guests: Crystal McKellar as Becky Slater; Brandon Crane as Doug Porter; Michael Tricario as Randy Mitchell; Jay Lambert as Tommy Kisling. Absent: Dan Lauria as Jack Arnold; Alley Mills as Norma Arnold; Olivia d'Abo as Karen Arnold.
