The 2018 Election has so far proven to be a tough battle for all of the candidates. All four of the candidates show effort in their support for the Spider-Man Group. All of them understand that education is a key issue in reducing crime of the future. They also understand that gun control is important as a preventative measure as well. The results of an issue poll also agreed with the importance of these issues, showing that the Spider-Man Group's concerns definitely reflect that of the people.

Each of the candidates were interviewed via Twitter, and the answers they provided lined up with what they said in second debate. The information that was obtained can be found in section titled "The Candidates" above.  

​

The debates have clearly shown each of the candidates stances on issues relevant to the Spider-Man Group. This was especially evident in the second debate, as the candidates were asked this question: "What do you think about the Spider-Man Group? Does this group reflect your interests?"  The Spider-Man Group brought the issue of crime-fighting to the table, and this question allowed the candidates to freely express their ideas about reducing crime. Notably, Mr. Hollidge talked about his idea that education should be made more competitive in order to increase our national standards. However, Ms. Spang and Ms. Reed disagreed with that, saying that his kind of thinking would create an expensive, elitist society, which is a problem in itself that may cause more crime. It is also important to mention Mr. Drummond's idea to equip law enforcement with state-of-the-art web-shooters, making their crime fighting ability even stronger. For this kind of creative thinking, Spider-Man Group has decided to show its support for Mr. Drummond.

​

Mr. Drummond has expressed his strong beliefs that education should be reformed, and that the youth should learn to stop crime at a young age, which would be able to prevent crime at its roots. He also believes that gun ownership should be controlled, aligning with the views of the Spider-Man Group, and we believe that restrictions should be set in place in order to reduce the chance of crime. Mr. Hollidge, on the other hand, believes that teachers should be armed, which is not something we agree with.  Although the other three candidates have offered some policies and ideas that support the ideals of the Spider-Man Group, none of them have truly shown such creativity as we see in Mr. Drummond. Creativity was also a founding pillar of this interest group, and we believe that it is a necessary virtue to fight crime.

With that said, Mr. Drummond is the man for the job. His creative ability to approach the issues of education, gun control, and law enforcement is something that we like to see here at the Spider-Man Group. America's safety is of the utmost importance to us, and we believe that Mr. Drummond will be able to work so that the Spider-Man Group is able to continue to fight crime.
