Mayors of Hoovsted
From the early 1990s to the mid-2010s, control of the mayorship of Hoovsted regularly changed hands between the Worker's Party, and the Liberal Party, with Worker's being elected more often than the liberals. Then during the 2006 election, the Liberal party got a majority in the city council and Ed Walker won the mayorship after several allegations of corruption against the Worker's Party candidate ruined his approval rating. Ed Walker easily carried reelection in 2010 based on his charisma. Mel won the 2014 election after the merging of the Labor Party and the Worker's Party caused a drift among left-wing voters to the newly formed party. Mel won reelection in 2018 after the passing of a popular bill that increased funding for public transportation.
