A good moral story.  It's interesting that the title of the story points out when people start failing at their jobs.  The incumbent says he's already passed his a long time ago, she owns up to hers and we're told that she didn't win her run for office.  I don't know if I would've voted for her either with the information provided, but I guess you'd have to be there to figure it out.  I thought it was nice that the title character and her husband both felt the same way about the issue.
