Teens are able to do a whole lot more than what’s typically expected of them. Kudos to this young man.
“Hammons, a registered Republican, is Oklahoma’s youngest at-large delegate to the Republican National Convention. But when it comes to serving as mayor of Muskogee, an unpaid position, he plans to govern in a nonpartisan way.
“Politics stop at the door,” Hammons said. “If someone wants to talk politics, I will literally leave the office and leave the building if I have to. In this office, it needs to be Muskogee-oriented.”
Residents appear willing to give the young mayor a chance.”

Read the whole thing, and yes, look at the picture. He looks and sounds like he actually has his head on straight. I would say at the very least, Muskogee is NOT going to re-enact the seventies’ tenure of Cleveland’s Dennis Kucinich.
Did you notice that MSNBC put the story under their “Weird News” category? I wonder if they would have done so if the young man was a Democrat?
