The impending U.S. Presidential election is gearing up to be one for the history books. In the midst of Joe Biden dropping, current VP Kamala Harris is primed to take over as the Democratic nominee but the American people are unsure of who will be on the ballot with her come November. This uncertainty is undoubtedly cause for concern, but the best we can do as dutiful citizens is to educate ourselves with every potential candidate. These are the most qualified politicians that are ready to be her running mate.
Mayor Max III from Idyllwild, Calif.
Since the 1890s there have only been two US President’s to not have a White House dog. The coveted canine position is nearly as vital as the Vice Presidency, and Mayor Max III comes from a lineage of celebrated city mayors. Max’s endless energy and healthy golden coat is exactly what Harris needs after 4 years of Sleepy Joe.
Mayor Parker the Snow Dog from Georgetown, CO.
This paw-gressive has been a staunch climate change advocate since the beginning. Protecting Colorado’s gorgeous Rocky Mountain peaks and being an integral voice in the anti-firework movement. Some have criticized Mayor Parker’s commitment to the job, citing frequent ski trips, but compared to Trump’s golf outings, Parker’s excursions are a walk in the park.
Mayor Banjo from Gulfport, FL
Aside from being an inspiration to disabled dogs across the country, Banjo has worked tirelessly since being elected for the betterment of Gulfport, Florida. Drawing comparisons to FDR, Banjo has similarly implemented a ‘Chew Deal’ that is expected to jump-start Gulfport’s treat economy.
NYC Honorary Dog Mayor Sally Long Dog
While man’s best friend seems like a great candidate on paper, not all get unanimous bipartisan support. Mayor Sally Long Dog ran a successful campaign under the controversial stance that NYC streets must continue to smell like pee for the sake of the city’s pups. Many New Yorkers spoke up in opposition of this agenda but eventually conceded after seeing those puppy dog eyes.
Mayor Brooks from St. Andrews, FL
In trying to be as transparent as possible, there is something that needs to be said regarding Mayor Brooke. Last week, during a campaign rally, Brooke bit an audience member who asked her to shake a paw. Both parties are unharmed and the Mayor is extremely regretful of her actions. But isn’t that the American Dream? Being knocked down by the consequences of your actions just to get right back up and keep going? Mayor Brooke is an inspiration to politicians everywhere, and would make an excellent Vice President.
Mayor Fern from Divide, CO
After a stellar two terms by former mayor, Clyde the Donkey, Fern the Australian Shepard Mix had big shoes to fill. Since her election earlier this year, belly rubs have been up 30% and crime has trended down. Fern was the first mayor in Divide history to hold a town hall with the zoomies, and she was also one of the few animal politicians to condemn Kristi Noem.
