Simon the Bassett cattle dog was inaugurated as New York City's second honorary dog mayor amidst a chaotic election marred by cryptocurrency vote buying scandals. Sophie Vershbow, Simon's owner, highlighted the importance of using this platform to advocate for animal fostering and adoption. The election saw significant controversy with efforts to support rival candidate Bertram through a cryptocurrency, leading to a less competitive field. Despite the challenges, Simon emerged victorious, with Bertram becoming Deputy Mayor before passing away, leaving Pepper the mini Dachshund to join Simon's administration.
Simon was dressed to the nines for his swearing-in ceremony, padding over to the front of City Hall in a winter coat and office tie.
I am grateful, as is Simon, for the opportunity to use this platform for the next two years to promote animal fostering and adoption in New York City.
The dog race to City Hall was inexplicably contentious during this election cycle after cryptocurrency fanatics descended onto the polls and started buying votes.
The competition wasn't as stiff, which allowed the dapper Simon to climb in the polls.
