The town of Grand Forks, BC might be getting an ass for mayor. A local woman, fed up with the state of local politics, is putting her donkey Lobo on the ballot this fall.

“We need a change. We need a big change,” O’Connor told CTV News Vancouver.  “People are tired of who is running now and they’re a little upset with who is planning on running and I said, ‘What they need is a big change and Lobo could be that change. Sure he could.’”

O’Connor launched a social media campaign  and has been fielding requests for interviews.
