“Nobody wants to be mayor”
A town in Canada is facing one major hurdle in the run-up to its November municipal election — no one is running for mayor.
Officials in Kyle said Mayor George Williams, who was elected in November 2021, is retiring this year.
So far, no candidates have come forward to replace him.
Two rounds of applications have gone out seeking nominations for mayor, but no one has signed up.
“It’s a little concerning, but I am confident that someone will step forward,” Chief Administrative Officer Amber Dashney said.
Dashney said the council will select a deputy mayor to handle the duties of the office if no candidates run for mayor in the November 13 election.
