The Mayor

The Mayor is the mayor of the town of Jefferton. He is the deuteragonist and sometimes antagonist of Tom Goes to the Mayor. He is seemingly well-meaning and friendly, but often unintentionally (sometimes intentionally) causes trouble for Tom Peters.

Background
The Mayor has been the mayor of Jefferton for at least 20 years, as he has been in office since Pioneer Island burned down "20 Years Ago".

Personality and Traits
The Mayor has a complex personality that changes at random throughout the series. While he is usually affable and open-minded, he can often be narcissistic, vindictive, destructive and generally mentally unstable.

He spends the majority of his time watching TV on his computer and taking care of Gibbons. The only time he interacts with the outside world is when Tom comes to him with an idea, for special town events, or if there's something he wants.

He supposedly cares about Jefferton and its citizens, but whats he sees as "best for the town" is beyond reasonable understanding.

The mayor is easily the most mysterious and complicated character in the entire series as his motivations and history are never made entirely clear.

Projects
Bear Traps - After watching the TV program "Scared Safe" and meeting with Tom Peters about child safety in Jefferton, The Mayor comes up with a plan to place thousands of bear traps around various safe zones in Jefferton in order to protect the children. This eventually ends in disaster as hundreds of children are either maimed or killed by the traps, while the bear escapes unscathed.
