Marty for Mayor™

The message of “Marty for Mayor” is to first bring attention to voters that voting is very important and that voters should always turn out on Election Day and to second spark the interest of children and young adults to participate in a free democracy through their future voting efforts. A children’s book is in the works to document “Marty” and her adventures into politics.

"Marty for Mayor" Receives Votes!

Reports are coming in throughout area, Tennessee, and the US of "Marty" actually receiving votes in local elections. This is quite interesting for the fact that there must be dissatisfied Americans who want change in their local leadership or wanting to make a statement.

Even Greg McKay of Knox County Election Commission stated that several voters wrote in "Marty" or "Marty for Mayor" in the recent election held on August 3rd. Although there was not opposition to Mayor Mike Ragsdale in the Knox County General Election, some voters apparently wrote in "Marty" and/or "Marty for Mayor".
