Max was a lion that lived in a big jungle at the heart of America. 

The jungle was filled with his friends. Max had a heart of gold and had always wanted to help those around him. He decided that the best way he could make an impact was running for president. 

Max knew that the first and most important step was making a name for himself in the primaries throughout the jungle. He knew that he would have to debate other hopeful nominees for the spot as the Democratic Party president nominee. He spent the year traveling the jungle with his closest friends and introducing himself to as many people as possible in hopes of winning the hearts of the animals throughout the jungle. 

I listen to all voices and I will make sure that the government hears your needs. Make sure to spread the word and vote for me as your president!

He traveled far and spread his message wide. The animals of the jungle felt heard and were astonished by his perseverance and empathy.
