It’s time to take another look at the polls as the race heats up!
Our Natchez Pet Mayor race is in full swing, and the leaderboard is starting to take shape! As of today, Hal the Horse remains out front in first place, but Pacho Sanders of Sanders Law Firm and the beloved sibling pair Pepper & Roni of Wardo’s are close behind, holding strong in second and third. Sadly, Pepper recently crossed the rainbow bridge, but Roni is continuing in the campaign with support from friends and fans across the community.—and we’re cheering her on with love.
Clover, sponsored by Concordia Bank, is currently in 4th place and looking for a forever home through Hoofbeats & Pawprints. And in 10th place, sweet Tisha, sponsored by United Mississippi Bank, is also adoptable through the Natchez-Adams County Humane Society. Let’s help these deserving candidates find both a home and a title!
