CLARION, Pa. (NOT) — In the hallowed halls of a high school in Pennsylvania’s District 63, where the scent of dry erase markers is as common as teen spirit, a math teacher with an affinity for algebraic expressions and catchy choruses is shaking up the local political scene.

Dustin Kifer, a Rimersburg man who can find ‘x’ with his eyes closed and belt out Taylor Swift lyrics with his heart open, is announcing his candidacy for Pennsylvania State Representative – and he’s not just doing it by the numbers.

Kifer, affectionately dubbed “Crowbar” by his students, is known for his uncanny ability to draw parallels between quadratic equations and the Queen of Pop’s discography. “You know, finding the value of ‘x’ is a lot like understanding Swift’s ‘Blank Space,'” Kifer quips to a classroom of bemused teenagers. “There’s a lot of space to make mistakes, but once you find your rhythm, it’s as satisfying as hitting the high notes in the shower.”

His passion for all things Taylor is evident; his classroom is a shrine to Swift, with posters that double as teaching aids. “Look at this graph,” he’ll say, pointing to a chart with peaks and valleys. “It’s like Taylor’s career – always climbing to new heights, with a few dips that teach us resilience. And remember, even if your parabola opens downward, it’s still beautiful, just like every track on ‘Reputation.'”

When announcing his candidacy, Kifer channeled a mix of pop culture icons: “Just like Taylor Swift, I’m telling you ‘I’m ready for it,'” he declared with a confident smile. “I’m emerging from the woods of private life to catch passes in the public service end zone, aiming to score big for our community.

Kifer noted that he’d work hard for everyone in the district, except the people of Sligo.

In 2017, during his infamous presidential run, Kifer vowed to build a wall between Rimbersburg and rival town Sligo.

With a campaign built on strengthening public education, bolstering small businesses, and fostering community initiatives, Kifer’s meticulous nature shines through. “There’s a ‘Blank Space’ in our district’s leadership that I’m eager to fill with hard work and open dialogue,” Kifer notes, confident in his problem-solving skills.

Kifer’s platform is as well-rounded as a perfectly calculated circumference. He’s advocating for a robust education system, because he knows all too well that “band-aids don’t fix bullet holes” in school funding. On small business support, he’s all about making the local economy “shine like the fireworks over your sad, empty town.” And when it comes to community engagement, he’s urging everyone to “speak now” or forever hold their peace.

“You know, I often tell my students that being good at math can help you in unexpected ways—like keeping track of all the touchdowns Travis Kelce scores. But then again, you might need calculus for that, because the numbers just keep on adding up! And when it comes to his victory dances, let’s just say his moves are almost as calculated as a geometry proof, but a whole lot more fun to watch.”

His campaign events are nothing short of spectacular, with the kind of energy you’d expect from a math teacher who uses “Shake It Off” to teach probability. “The haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate,” he’ll tell his constituents, “but I’m just gonna legislate, slate, slate, slate, slate. And I’m asking for your vote, vote, vote, vote, vote.”

So if you’re tired of the same old political song and dance, keep an eye on Dustin Kifer. He’s crafting a campaign narrative that’s more gripping than a last-minute plot twist in a Swift music video. With a blend of humor, heart, and a touch of Swiftian sparkle, Kifer is on a quest to turn District 63’s blank political canvas into a masterpiece – with all the color and flair of a Taylor Swift album cover. Will he succeed?

“We’ll see how the story ends,” added Kifer.
