Jaylen Smith was elected the mayor of Earle, Ark., on Tuesday night, becoming the youngest Black mayor in the United States.

Smith, 18, defeated Nemi Matthews Sr. in a runoff election.

Smith had 218 votes, compared to Matthews’ 139, according to election results.

Smith announced his win in a Facebook post, saying ““It’s Time To Build A Better Chapter of Earle, Arkansas.”

Matthews is the superintendent of Earle with more than four decades of experience working in the small Arkansas town, which has a population of under 2,000 people and is situated about 30 miles northwest of Memphis.

Jayden just finished from high school and has postponed his resumption for college.

This runoff election victory to become the youngest ever mayor of the community of a little over 2000 people has led to an avalanche of offers of assistance to Jayden from around the U.S.

This kinda reminds me of how
Tiger Woods became the youngest winner of the Masters Golf Tournament and the world stood up and noticed.
