TEDDY FOR MAYOR 2026- "TEDDY, THE PURRRFECT CANDIDATE FOR MEOWYER!"
Voting Location: RCHS-Rushville Consolidated High School
Voting Begins November 20th
Hello, all. My name is Teddy Lee Corum, but everyone calls me Teddy. I am running for Rushville Meowyer because just like the famous Teddy Roosevelt or “Teddy” to his friends I was nominated and encouraged to run by my supportive family, thanks mom, my loving friends, my toy bell ball and mom’s couch cushions, and of course my adoring and enamored fans and fanatics, I’m of course talking about my all my friends in Ms. Corum’s Class and the RCHS staff, teachers, and maybe some of the other students, but mainly Ms. Corum’s class that hear about me daily, and also those teachers and staff that get my advice every Tuesday in Tuesday’s with Teddy.
Another reason I am running is that the Rushville animal shelter is near and dear to my heart; it’s where I met my mom, she met me, and we decided we were going to be together forever. Though I didn’t realize that I was going home to be a teacher’s cat, it was a great experience, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. This makes me want to make sure I do everything in my power to help other cats, dogs, and other animals at the shelter find their forever moms or families, too.
So if you vote for me, I promise to do the following to the best of my ability:
1. Make sure that teacher pets (animals not the other one), or pets of other stressful jobs, get recognized for all the support and therapy that they give their owners every day. Picture it: the best treats, toys, and/or best food every week celebrating the support we give.
2. Endless supplies of just out of the dryer clothes for every cat in the Rushville and Rush County limits.
(Even open dryers with clothes in will be up for grabs/provided).
3. Take your pet to work day to be established and followed every month, so that we can spend the day with our favorite humans and remind them why they do what they do. (Ms. Corum’s class, this one is for you especially!!!)
4. Reinstating nap times for everyone!!!!
5. That every stray, shelter hold, or found pet gets returned or has the opportunity to experience what love of a family feels like and what home is supposed to be, and that the humans that welcome them also have the same experience in becoming a family. (Love you so, Mom, and thank you).
So when you are at that pawling booth, remember to vote for Teddy, the Purrrfect Candidate for your Meowyer!
