    Candidates:

    Gnome Representative - Speaks for the interests of the Gnomish community of Hinhold

    Floki Tilnook: The youngest child of Feldegast Tilnook, Floki wants to see programs instituted to ensure that gnomes have a fair shake at jobs throughout town despite hin being in the overwhelming majority.
