About the Campaign:
🐾 Pet Mayor Voting Has Ended 🗳️🐶

Thank you to everyone who participated in the race to crown the Pet Mayor of Meridian! The campaign has officially concluded, and voting is now closed.

Our community showed incredible enthusiasm for this fun and meaningful fundraiser. Local pets entered the race, supporters rallied behind their favorite candidates, and together we raised funds that will make a real difference in Meridian.

🏆 Election Results Coming Soon

The votes are currently being finalized. Stay tuned as we prepare to announce Meridian’s next Pet Mayor!

💛 Where Your Votes Made a Difference

Every dollar donated through the Pet Mayor campaign supports important initiatives in our community:

90% of proceeds fund Downtown Meridian Design Projects, including murals, landscaping, and revitalization efforts that keep the heart of our city vibrant and welcoming.
10% of proceeds benefit the City of Meridian Animal Control Center, helping support the care and rehoming of animals in need.

🐾 What Happens Next

Once the final results are announced, the winning Pet Mayor will serve an honorary term as the face of Downtown Meridian — making appearances at local events and helping promote community pride and progress.

Thank you again to everyone who donated, voted, and supported the candidates. Your participation helped strengthen Downtown Meridian and support animals in need.
