Started planning to be mayor when in college Wants to turn the small town into a tourist destination
According to reports, the news of a 22-year-old college graduate being elected as mayor has shocked the United States. Morse said that his election as mayor was not just a matter of luck, but rather the result of careful consideration and preparation. In fact, as early as a year and a half ago, while he was still in college, he had already decided to run for mayor.
Morse said: "I decided to run a year and a half ago and conducted in-depth research on it until I felt I was fully prepared for the position of mayor before officially entering the race." With fluent Spanish, Morse gained some support in the city's largest Latin American community. Additionally, openly acknowledging his homosexual orientation without psychological burdens is also one of the reasons why Morse became mayor. More importantly, many citizens believe that despite his youth, Morse has clear ideas about his governance platform. It is reported that Morse’s term as mayor will last for four years, and according to normal standards, his annual salary as mayor could reach up to $70,000.
Morse successfully passed through the primary elections, with the current 67-year-old female mayor Elaine Pluta becoming Morse's only opponent. A few days ago, the results of the mayoral election vote were finally announced. To the surprise of his rival, Mayor Elaine, Morse eventually received over 5,000 votes, defeating her by a margin of 600 votes and successfully becoming the new mayor of Holyoke, making Morse one of the youngest mayors in U.S. history!
It is reported that 22-year-old Alex Morse is from Holyoke, Massachusetts. He graduated this summer from Brown University in Providence, the capital of Rhode Island. It is understood that Morse has been interested in politics since he was young. Recently, with only 40,000 people, Holyoke began its campaign for a new mayor. Upon hearing this news, Morse immediately registered to participate in the mayoral election.
According to U.S. media reports on November 13, two young Americans in their twenties recently won their respective elections and have become among the youngest mayors and town supervisors in the United States - 22-year-old Alex Morse became one of the youngest mayors in the U.S. in the city of Holyoke, Massachusetts, which has a population of only 40,000; 18-year-old high school student Jeremy Minnich became the youngest town supervisor in U.S. history in Adair, Iowa.
Compared to the newly appointed 22-year-old mayor Morse, the achievements of the newly appointed 18-year-old town supervisor Jeremy Minnich are no less impressive. It is reported that Minnich is a third-year high school student in Adair, Iowa. He currently lives with his parents and travels 15 miles every day to attend school. However, like Morse, Minnich also has a strong interest in politics. Therefore, when the Adair town supervisor election campaign began not long ago, he also participated with an experimental attitude. To Minnich's surprise, during the campaign, he found that he gained the support of many local young people, who became his loyal fans. These fans even published election advertisements for Minnich in the local newspaper, calling on people to cast a vote for Minnich on Election Day, November 8. Even more unexpectedly, after the voting results were announced on November 8, Minnich defeated the incumbent 76-year-old town supervisor Wager Homer with a high approval rate of 75%, becoming the new town supervisor of Adair!
