By: Nivedh Govil, Student reporter
Dorset a town in Vermont USA, famous as the birthplace of Bill Wilson and home to America’s oldest quarry now has the youngest mayor in the world as far as 2015.
James Tufts also has a brother Bobby Tufts, now a Dorset ambassador, who was once a mayor of Dorset. Bobby taught him how to shake hands and look voters in the eye.
"I wanted to be the mayor so much. It's pretty awesome," James was quoted saying.
How was he elected you will ask?
The town had a lucky draw system of elections, where the residents would pick a chit from the ballot.
He hopes for a re-election in 2016. Let’s hope he wins!
If you had the chance of becoming the mayor, would you?
