YA books about politics

Does anyone know of any good YA books about politics and elections? Of course, I love Ellen Emerson White's books series starting with The President's Daughter. Mitali Perkins' First Daughter series is also really good, about the adopted Bangladeshi daughter of a Republican candidate for the presidency (hmm, John McCain, anyone? Years and years ago?). Wide Awake by David Levithan is also amazing, and about an election that is unprecedented in terms of the types of people who are elected (in this book, a gay man and a latina). I'd love some suggestions for any other books to read that might be particularly relevant in these next few weeks! Thanks.

They aren't all about politics (they also have a lot of humor and a great love story), but they do use a few political themes. In AAG, there are things about teens standing up for what they believe in and free speech. RoN has things about why we should make contraception available to teens and teach about it in schools, and why we should stop stigmatizing those who have pre-marital sex, especially since those who stigmatize are usually quite hypocritical.
