Mooresville has a new dog in charge and she's ready to serve her constituents!

On Wednesday, the Mooresville Youth Council announced that the town has a new dog in charge. Reya, a 12-year-old Pit Bull, was elected to serve as Mooresville's new Dog Mayor. Reya's term officially began on June 30 and will last one year.

Each year, MYC accepts nominations for the position and then they hold a vote where residents and followers pick their favorite candidate for Dog Mayor.

This is a direct voting process, so the dogs don't have to worry about an electoral college. Plus, it's a public campaign, so the dogs don't have to spend all their time pounding the pavement to raise campaign funds.

The job of the Mooresville Dog Mayor is very important. They are involved in all kinds of events and activities during their tenure.


I have had a chance to meet Reya on a couple of occasions and she is a wonderful addition to our Town, Mayor Chris Carney said. The voters got it right and she'll do a great job! I'm excited to work with her over the next year.

Reya's owner Ashley Potts said that her new role came at the perfect time.

We lost Reyas fur brother, Rufio, in March due to bladder cancer, said Ashley Potts. Were thankful for the Mooresville Youth Council for this yearly tradition. It came at the perfect time for our little family!

Reya has also dealt with her own medical issues, having undergone two knee surgeries, skin disease and the removal of a dew claw due to a bone infection.

What a tough lady!

Reya's platform includes breed awareness, healthy eating and Sheldon's K9s. She enjoys strolling around downtown Mooresville. If you see Reya, say hello and shake her paw.

Come say hello! Just make sure not to make eye contact or shake your keys or Reya might get nervous.

Can't believe they didn't just re-elect Daisy. Talk about going from Obama to Trump.

Well, now that a pit bull is the mayor I don't think there is any other option.

Most of them will never murder a child or pet. But most of the children and pets murdered by a dog will be by a pit bull.

I have. On a bus. And the owner was exactly the kind of guy who no one wants to own a pair dangerous dogs, well trained or not. Dude literally said to one of his friends "I'm tellin ya, either I'm gonna get done in, or I'll end up back in prison."

Ban pits.

"And 20 butts to sniff! I don't care if they're dog butts, cat butts, human butts, chicken butts-- just as long as I have 20 new butts to sniff every day. And yes, they must be LIVE butts! No pig fetus butts! (though feel free to supply me with a delicious pig fetus) In addition, I demand 10 pieces of Beggin' Strips and 2 16 oz glasses of sparkling toilet water supplied by an artisan well."
Is what any dog mayor will say.

BTW, anyone else getting Tom Goes to Mayor vibes from this? (that was undoubtedly the very best episode of the series, BTW)

For the unaware: The show was a much better Tim & Eric precursor on Adult Swim but semi-animated) where the duo play a mayor and his adviser. There was an episode where they elect a dog to pair up (dog) couples for dog weddings *which the mayor would attend and give his blessing to* The dog would determine male and female dog relationship compatibility by sniffing their butts at a public gathering for doggies looking for a mate.
Eric initially had to teach the dog what to do by showing it an example (he went around sniffing dog butts)
