I agree that having a 21 year old mayor is crazy, but I think you’re misunderstanding the context here. There are no HOAs within 20 miles of this community. It’s incredibly rural, with most houses “in town” being on plots of at least half an acre. Most of the residents live outside of that area and are on significantly larger plots of land. It seems like the community just really liked her dad and decided to stay with what they know, or at least the closest thing to that.
So it’s more like she threw her hat in the ring to be HOA president, and either no one else ran, or her family name was enough to take it.
Still, Mayor’s do have power to fuck things up if they want. Seems kind of crazy to let a 21 year old take the reigns.
