A segment on the CAPES TV show:

Retired superhero Patriot, also known as James 'Jack' Lockwood, has declared his candidacy in the special election to replace Pennsylvania's US Senator, Mark Gomes. Gomes vacated his Senate seat to replace the late Marcia Wallace as US Secretary of State. Lockwood is running as an Independent, and he joins a crowded field with Democratic and Republican contenders. When asked about how he plans to differentiate himself from the competition, Lockwood replied: "Hard work and dedication. I'll work diligently to be the representative that the people of Pennsylvania need and deserve." Lockwood is no stranger to adversity; he spent several years trapped in a Chinese prison until his release a few years ago.

We managed to catch up with his son, Wade Lockwood, who is himself a student at CSBU. When asked about his father's chances in the Senate race, Wade had this to say:

"I think he'd make a good senator, honestly. And since he's not a career politician, he'll bring a new perspective to the Senate, which I think is badly needed currently."

Wade Lockwood is a costumed adventure himself, going by the name 'Victory'. Perhaps the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all; in addition to following in his father's footsteps as a crimefighter, Wade is also studying political science. When asked about his own political aspirations, Wade replied:

"No plans in the immediate future, but I certainly won't rule it out entirely."

Spoken like a politician, Wade. Now onto coverage of the LA Defenders recent roster changes...
