Who’s running?

As it should read on the ballot.

What are they?

Then what? Doesn’t matter to the ballot. The lines from here on fit them too.

Boy, girl, or just them?

Where do they live?

That’s the race they’re in.

Pick four that sound like them.

Any four. The first goes on the poster.

Who’s their running mate?

Pick a shelter dog. They go on their page. Adopt one between September 18 and October 17 and the adoption fee is on us.

Not today? Skip, they run alone.

Where should we send their poster?

A preview. The real one arrives by email.

Fargo · Pet Election 2026

for Mayor of the Red River Valley

Presented by Novel Design + Build

We’ll send their poster when it’s ready, a note when they’re on the ballot, and each new campaign picture or clip they earn. Nothing else.
