After a month of campaigning and another month of voting, the new PAWS of Coronado Canine Mayor was announced by human Coronado Mayor Casey Tanaka at last evening’s Inauguration.
The winner and new Canine Mayor of Coronado with 4677 votes is Bently James!
His Vice Mayor with 2244 votes is Blade.
The other 16 Caninedates make up the Canine Council.
It was a wonderful field of Caninedates and truly every dog is a winner.
