If all the politicking on the news right now sounds like meaningless noise to you, then maybe you'll prefer this presidential candidate.

She's smart. She's dedicated. And her meaningless noise comes in the form of barking at squirrels.

Kira the husky is currently running for ASUC president at UC Berkeley with the SQUELCH! party, a satirical group known on campus for its yearly silly candidate offerings. Kira is a very good dog who is a proponent of participating in the American political system.

"We're hoping that with a nontraditional candidate like Kira on the ballot, otherwise disinterested students will be more inclined to turn out to vote," SQUELCH! creative director Andrea Rose said. "Because the ballot allows one to rank their choices for both exec and senate positions, students will likely cast a vote for non-satirical candidates running, even if they just turn out to vote for Kira."

Kira is all about diversity — she was born in Texas and travelled more than 300 miles before ending up a Bay Area shelter where she was adopted by Cal senior Nicola Evans. Her campaign platforms are decidedly anti-pigeon, however.

"I will single handedly slaughter every single pigeon and other pigeon-like vermin from the UC Berkeley campus," her campaign site reads. "... I will stop at NOTHING to make sure these 'pigeons' or rather, these demons-made-incarnate are eradicated once and for all! For too long have the Great Pigeon King and his Grand Army of Pigeons plagued the hallowed UC Berkeley school grounds! RISE UP MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS! THE HUNTING HOUR IS NIGH! WE CHASE AT DAWN!"

Kira's other campaign platforms include free mental health services at the campus medical center and the "creation of more inclusive student housing for non-human students."

As noted by the Daily Cal, Kira hopes that her campaign will promote "bipawtisanship" on campus.

The campaign trail hasn't gotten dirty yet, but if Kira attack ads start airing, you can bet someone will question if she's a sleeper agent for another Pac-12 school.
