In 2014, twelve write-in votes won this dog the title of Mayor for a small town in Minnesota. He was not only re-elected the next year, but has once again been re-elected in 2016.
Meet The 3rd-Term Mayor Of Cormorant, Minnesota - A Dog Named Duke!
Duke is a Great Pyrenees who has been elected Mayor a whopping three times in a row.
And he's doing a damn fine job.
Cormorant is a township in Minnesota and only 1,000 people reside there.
But they all voted for Duke!
In Duke's 2014 inauguration, the chairman of Cormorant Township, Steve Sorenson, swore Duke into office:
“You are about to embark upon a great time of service, and tremendous personal and professional growth. If you accept this challenge and these responsibilities, please bark or pant.”
Duke panted.
