New Hampshire School Board

Elliot Roush charges toward a seat on the New Hampshire School Board, his 53% lead fueling Bartlet's midnight summons of C.J. for national press amplification. This local political body wields authority over public school policy, administration, and elections, thrusting Roush—a Bartlet ally—into the spotlight as the President bulldozes ethical barriers, prioritizing principled endorsement over midterm House strategy and Republican backlash in a raw clash of morals versus machine.
