Snart drops five points in the polls
Written By: Iris West-Allen
Leonard Snart, 29, is the opposing candidate running against the current sitting Mayor. At a fundraiser last night for the Cities Victims of Abuse fund, a night that was supposed to bring Mr. Snart up in the polls actually dropped him five points. Captain Cold, as the media has dubbed him for his cold, calculating and clinical mannerisms, has in this journalist's opinion, the most agreeable of platforms between the two candidates, however, Mr. Snart's less than personable demeanor seems to be a sticking point with voters.
Perhaps in an attempt to show voters he's not the cold hearted man most people believe him to be he will be attending the ballet this evening. Sources inside the Snart campaign say he is a fan of the performing arts and is looking forward to seeing the famed Star City Ballet Perform their rendition of Hans Christian Andersen's The Red Shoes.

"Cheer up Lenny, it won't be that bad."
Leonard turned the fiercest glare he could manage on his baby sister. "You told that reporter that I love the ballet."
"Yeah, so?"
"I hate the ballet. It's boring and I don't understand it in the slightest. Now not only do I actually have to go I have look interested." he complained. Lisa rolled her eyes.
"It's really not that bad Len. Stop being dramatic and practice your emotional expressions."
"I do not need to practice my expressions. I'm a grown man if I don't want to smile I'm not going to." he told her, crossing his arms as he turned to look out the window. Lisa sighed. "Voter's should be more concerned with my platform, my policies, than how handsome my smile is." he grumped.
Lisa grinned. "You know most men would be flattered." she told him.
"Well, I'm not most men." he told her as the limo pulled to a stop outside the theatre.
Leonard took a deep breath as the driver came around and opened the door for them. He stepped out, buttoning his tux jacket before reaching down and offering a hand to his sister. He helped her out and they walked toward the front doors together, stopping for pictures from the press before entering the theatre and being escorted to their seats. Once seated, Leonard hunkered down, preparing himself for the most boring night of his life.

A Night At The Ballet
Written By: Iris West-Allen
A night at the ballet entertained the upper crust of society last night. Everyone from the Thawne family to mayoral hopeful and corporate heir Leonard Snart. And from what this journalist could tell, no one was disappointed in last night entertainment.
The show began in the simplest of ways. The strings warmed up the orchestra and silenced the crowd before the curtains slid open to reveal the troupe's lead ballerina. Sara Lance, 23, wore a gorgeous white tutu and striking red en pointe shoes. You can find a more in depth review of the show in the entertainment section so here I will only tell you this; Sara Lance captivated the audience and as a result, we saw more emotion on Mayoral Hopeful, Leonard Snart's face than anyone has seen in the entire campaign season.
Based solely on the posts to social media, his polling numbers have jumped three points and are expected to continue to rise as more photos continue to surface from the backstage after party.
