Overview
Tracy is an overachieving high school junior, preparing for an easy election to the office of student body president after three years of extracurricular toil. Her assumptions of an unopposed victory are dashed when two unexpected challengers enter the race: friendly and popular athlete Paul Metzler (Chris Klein), sidelined from the football team by a skiing accident, and Paul's younger sister Tammy (Jessica Campbell), a moody, sarcastic rebel. Paul has been coaxed into running by election supervisor Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick), a civics teacher nursing a deep resentment towards Tracy since her affair with Jim's best friend and fellow teacher cost the man his job.
As the race continues and Paul's effortless popularity continues to jeopardize Tracy's once-sure victory, Tracy's frustration drives her to commit an act of sabotage against Paul's campaign. Despite Jim McAllister's conviction of her guilt, she escapes punishment through a stroke of pure luck when Tammy claims responsibility for the crime and is subsequently expelled, which was her objective in "confessing." Tracy wins the election and goes on to attend Georgetown University, her dream school. She is later seen working closely alongside a congressman in Washington, D.C.
