16-Year-old Wins Over 5-Year-Old Incumbent Mayor

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene with a political bombshell. Bobby Tufts is out after two terms as the mayor of Dorset, Minnesota. A few things to note here - the job is ceremonial, the tiny town has no official mayor and voting is done for charity. And Bobby Tufts, well, he's 5 years old. He was elected when he was 3 and brought sweeping changes like declaring ice cream a necessary food. Bobby said his time in office was quote, "fun." He was beaten out by Eric Mueller who is 16.
