John Tyler Hammons will soon be the new mayor of Muskogee, OK. This would not be significant except that he is only 19 years old. It's not the result of some election machine malfunction or accidental write-in support. He ran for reals and won a run-off in landslide fashion over someone who is 70 years old and a 3-time previous mayor.
Not only that but he proclaims himself a gamer, as well as a fan of movies, fast cars, and rock and roll. If you're looking for affiliations he was the president of his high school's Young Republicans Club, but also their Young Democrats Club. But he is a stated Republican and has his eyes on the governorship of Oklahoma, and maybe someday the presidency. Nice work kid. Now get these politicians off our gaming backs.
