Georgia's youngest elected mayor was removed from office just 10 months after taking the job following allegations that he misused city funds and exchanged sexually suggestive messages and images with an 18-year-old high school student.
Jayden Williams, who recently turned 23, was impeached by the Stockbridge City Council in the city south of Atlanta after taking office in January.
"The City of Stockbridge confirms that the City Council has taken formal action concerning the Office of Mayor," the city said in a statement on Sunday. "The Mayor has been removed from office."
Williams was accused of using his city purchasing card for more than $4,000 in personal expenses, including restaurant meals, clothing, haircuts and a movie, according to Fox 5 Atlanta. He reportedly spent $2,600 on gas and used a city vehicle for personal purposes.

He probably "made history" again as the shortest-serving mayor of Stockbridge.

He will end up as an accountant in Pawnee, Indiana. //sarc

Anyone else not surprised? Equally interesting is why the voters put him in office in the first place.

Because the city of Stockbridge is 66.5% Black or African American and they generally vote within the tribe.

The reason Democrats go into politics is they can’t make a living on their own.

Empty words designed to trick voters. I see a great future for him as a politician. Or a democrat consultant; most of both types are equally slimy.

He’s just auditioning for a position as a Atlanta municipal employee.....he’ll probably get hired into the accounting department.

...exchanged sexually suggestive messages and images with an 18-year-old high school student. So, she's of age. Is the only problem that she was in high school? What if there was a not-too-bright 24 year old still in high school. Would that be a problem?
