Finally. A politician we can TRUST!

Max has been in office for 5 years already. His uncle was actually the first mayor, back in 2012.

“Six years ago, Idyllwild decided to elect its first mayor,” Phyllis Mueller, Max’s “Chief of Staff” said. “You had to be a local resident, but you couldn’t run yourself, you could run your pet. In a voted election, 14 dogs and two cats ran and we decided to have an election to raise money for the animal rescue. So you paid $1 a vote and you were encouraged to vote a lot.”

That is awesome.

Max has a packed schedule. He makes two public appearances every day. You know. To spread the love.

“His role is to make the world a better place by conveying unconditional love and doing as many good deeds for others,” Mueller said. “My role as the chief of staff is to help run the vision of the mayor’s office for Idyllwild, so we actually run an actual mayor’s office.”

Max is not only the Mayor of Idyllwild, he also has a of couple tricks under his sleeve that he performs on command.

Mayor Max and his deputies, who are also golden retrievers, go to fundraisers and events all year round.

Mayor Max will hold his ceremonial role for his lifetime.

Max: The mayor we don’t deserve.
