Just thought it might bring a smile to your face. :)
And I'm from Minnesota! Woot!

Say hello to Mayor Robert "Bobby" Tufts. He's 4 years old and not even in school yet.
Bobby was only 3 when he won election last year as mayor of Dorset (population 22 to 28, depending on whether the minister and his family are in town). Dorset, which bills itself as the Restaurant Capital of the World, has no formal city government.
Every year the town draws a name during its Taste of Dorset Festival, and the winner gets to be mayor. Anyone can vote as many times as they like ? for $1 a vote ? at any of the ballot boxes in stores around town. Bobby is running for a second term, and he gets to draw the winning name Aug. 4, so it's possible he could draw his own name.

"I think he's a cute little bugger and I think a lot of people share the same, you know, opinion as me, and it's neat," Hubbard County Sheriff Cory Aukes says. "You know, how often do you see a little kid like that who's ? call 'em camera-friendly or whatever, you know ? he's got a very good little personality, and he's not afraid to show it. So I think it's great."
