David McClurry presents his latest invention, a type of radio-frequency identification (RFID) device, before the department of commerce in June of 2035.

Notwithstanding the lack of campaign and advertisement funds, McClurry runs for president in the fall of 2038. His political party is in limbo after an unexpected arrest and is beaten by John Morey of the Democratic Party.
