The Mock Election Senate Election in District 4, Sept. 2017 took place on September 23, 2017. It saw Democratic newcomer David Delaney win over the Republican nominee Sved Erikkson in a landslide as part of the 'Blue Tsunami' going on all over the nation.
== Background ==
=== First Campaign ===
In August 2017, MEC Owner Tim Taft created a new Mock Election Senate, with the new Senate having 5 districts. Eventually, during the campaign, President Ethan Kelly made a new map with 4 districts. Controversially, this new map passed, with District 4 encompassing the Northeast, while in the old map it encompassed the Great Plains and Eastern Rockies. It did not attract any candidates until too late.
=== Second Campaign ===
In September 2017, MEC Owner Ethan Kelly reset the Senate Election. This time, District 4 attracted the attention of newcomers David Delaney, Braden Hart, Kaden Shea, Nathaniel Talon, and Sved Erikkson.
== Candidates ==
=== Democratic ===
* David Delaney
* Braden Hart
* Kaden Shea
* Nathaniel Talon
Four Democrats ran for Senate, but only two campaigned heavily and had a chance at winning; Braden Hart and David Delaney. Delaney had name recognition among the new members that Hart did not and thus won the Democratic primary.
Candidate 	Votes	Percentage
David Delaney 	14 	67%
Braden Hart 	5 	23%
Kaden Shea 	1 	5%
Nathaniel Talon	1 	5%
=== Republican ===
* Sved Erikkson
Candidate 	Votes	Percentage
Sved Erikkson	19 	100%
== General Election ==
Delaney campaigned heavily, while Erikkson did not campaign at all and did not even post during the campaign season, thus resulting in his landslide defeat.
