The campaign:
The LambCam - Kids Entertainment Youtube series featured the adventures of a soft toy lamb named Lambie from 2010-2017. 544 episodes were produced and numbered. Lambie was created in a Build a Bear workshop in 2009 by the mononymous Marissa who seemed to have been based in Los Angeles. Lambie had a widespread social media presence with an accompanying array of merchandise.
On episode #469 (June 24, 2015), Lambie announced her run for President. Included in her platform--
-Bears should get free re-stuffing
-Free breakfast candy
-Less homework
-More allowance pay
-Bullies will be required to clean toilets at schools
-Bears have rights too
-Lambie has better fur then Mr. Trump
Episode #475 (July 11, 2016) revealed that with the input from viewers Lambie's choice for a running-mate was another soft toy lamb named Lavender, who appeared to have been a rural Southerner.
With the exception of a disgruntled panda expressing a counter campaign in episode #479 (July 25, 2015), all mention of the Lambie/Lavender electioneering quickly evaporated for the rest of the political season.
Election history: none
Other occupations: toy
Notes:
Lambie is not the first toy to run for the Presidency, but definitely the one with the highest voice.
