She was elected not appointed. No nepotism here just democracy.

That not correct maybe in Georgia but in Texas we had a 21 one year old mayor in Gunbarrel City for all of 6 months before he was removed for violating financial of the city to run his personal newspaper he owned. But not the youngest is US history.

Texas and Georgia might be the two most likely states for a Gunbarrel City to exist in. I say that as a Georgian

Maybe but definitely remember the 21 year old mayor when I lived in Athens Texas. Gunbarrell City was only town we could legally buy liquor. I also met the mayor because our neighbors were friends of his family and bragged endlessly about how this 21 year old was the youngest mayor ever. It was funny when he was recalled they didn't talk about him anymore.

This would have been around 2002 if you want to look it up. But this woman is not the youngest ever.
