Avalith | March 13, 2008 | News | Misc 
That's right, guys. There's finally someone in the world of politics who's actually in a public office who won't bash games all the time anything goes wrong. Why? Because he's a gamer himself!

David Hecq, a game shop owner in a town in France, announced back in December that he would run for mayor of the town Anzin Saint-Aubin. Well guess what... He won with 57.18% of the votes in the election!
Last sunday march 9th, there were municipal elections in France. And Hecq’s team “Pour Anzin-Saint-Aubin : une nouvelle équipe pour de nouvelles ambitions” (litterally, “For Anzin-Saint-Aubin : a new team for new ambitions”) received 57.18% of votes, against 42.82% for the former mayor’s team. Details are shown on Hecq’s campaign blog (in French)

…David Hecq is also credited for the creation of games retail store Objectif Games, which became Ultima Games, a chain of stores located in many French towns.
