Ah, since the conversation has shifted to grade school elected office...
I never ran for class office; I could have been elected class VP in junior year after the girl who had the position resigned, but decided against it when a friend was running and really wanted to do the job and all I really wanted it for was as something to look good on my college application.
I was on Student Council, but was somewhat lazy about attending the meetings so I figured that prevented me getting elected to any leadership position there. It actually got pretty dramatic, though: a friend was Student Council President but she got impeached by an overzealous opponent who brought up the fact she had been drinking on a recent school trip.
Also, in college, I've been elected as my fraternity's Treasurer and Risk Management Chair. Does that count?
