Mock Election News

== Founding of MEC News ==
MEC News was founded in January of 2017, by Fernando Diaz. MEC News holds the distinction of being the longest running and most extensive news network in the Mock Election Community. In the beginning, MEC News was ran by Diaz and Terrell McCann. 
== Acquisition and Merger ==
In late 2017 after the creation of MEC News Service by Sam Martinez and Claudio Aleman, MEC News began to feel pressure that they would lose the stronghold they had on broadcasting the news for the Mock Election Community. Shortly after creation of MEC News Service, Martinez and Diaz decided to schedule a meeting for a potential partnership or merger of the two companies. Having experience in the business world prior to entering politics, Martinez had the clear upper hand advantage in negotiations. After negotiations, a contract was reached and the two networks agreed to merge under the MEC News brand. Diaz and Martinez agreed to split the company's trademark equally*, with Martinez leading the the operations and finance aspects of MEC News and McCann serving as CEO. Furthermore, Martinez made a significant amount of his net worth in this deal, having sold MEC News Service for an undisclosed amount that only 3 other individuals know about. The sale of MEC News Service was disbursed as 70% of the sale proceeds going to the Owner and Founder, Sam Martinez, 20% to Co-Founder Claudio Aleman, and 10% going to charitable causes.
