Jaylen Smith Elected as the Youngest Black Mayor in US

[phantasmas 4,758]

At age 18, Jaylen Smith became the youngest black mayor in the country by beating Nemi Matthews, Sr. in a runoff election yesterday.

Smith recently graduated from Earle High School where he led the student government as president for 3 years.  He promises to beautify his city by reappropriating abandoned buildings and improving public safety and transportation for the city's population of about 2,000 people. The city is considered to be a food desert so he hopes he can also bring in new stores for easier access to groceries. 

His opponent has served his city for about 4 decades now as a former police lieutenant and now as a city superintendent. “No animosity, anything, far as me and Jaylen are concerned,” Matthews commented. “Everything has been cordial. If I can help him do anything, I’ll do it, and likewise with him.”
