The Honorary New York City Dog Mayor Election was founded to create something fun and joyful for people at a time in which many are struggling; to provide a unique opportunity for NYC community development; and to present politics and civics in a positive, educational, and compelling way (for once.)
The Honorary NYC Dog Mayor Election was inspired by the honorary dog mayor election of Littleton, Colorado, which was won by Murdoch the Basset Hound. The Honorary NYC Dog Mayor Election was founded by Stephen Calabria, a New York City-based professional media producer and dog lover.
