Willie loses this battle, but is vindicated when new school's faulty fire escapes built by the corrupt contractor collapse during a fire drill, injuring and killing many children. Willie becomes a Mason County hero for having sniffed out the corruption. When some politicians convince Willie to run for governor, he has no idea they are doing it to fix the race so one of the other candidates will win.
Since Willie's campaign speehes are so uninspiring, he has no chance of winning. When he learns he's just a pawn, he gets drunk for the first time in his life. To help him recover from his hangover, and face the political barbeque he's due to attend, Jack gets him drunk again. This allows the powerful speechmaker inside Willie to emerge for the first time. Soon enough, Willie runs for governor again, and easily wins.
