    I have family that lives about 50 miles from this town. It’s a drive through town with ~500 residents, the biggest businesses are Dollar General and Wendy’s. I would be shocked if there were any substantial donors to her campaign

      You’re probably right, but regardless having someone to take you through the process is huge. If we assume democracy is supposed to be fair and free, shouldn’t this be provided to everyone equally?

      So it’s more like she threw her hat in the ring to be HOA president, and either no one else ran, or her family name was enough to take it.

      Still, Mayor’s do have power to fuck things up if they want. Seems kind of crazy to let a 21 year old take the reigns.
