Baby Mayor Houston Charlie

Texas is the new holder of a rare distinction–one of its towns has just “elected” the youngest mayor in the country, Newsweek reports. The little town of Whitehall, northwest of Houston, held a swearing-in ceremony for Mayor Charlie, who became this year’s honorary mayor after the position was auctioned off during the Whitehall Volunteer Fire Department’s annual fundraiser. “Whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or independent, Charlie loves ya,” said Charlie’s adoptive mother Nancy. “We’re promoting kindness.” You can read more about him at MayorCharlie.org.
