That’s “Mayor” Hastings to you

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on November 9th, 2011

Comedian Drew Hastings has decisively won election to mayor of Hillsboro, OH.

With Hillsboro reporting complete, unofficial results, Drew Hastings had 773 votes to 440 for John Levo, a retired banker and former city councilman.
The 57-year-old Hastings moved from Los Angeles to the community 50 miles east of Cincinnati six years ago, buying a cattle farm. He became increasingly involved in the city of 6,600 residents, buying and renovating several downtown buildings.

Congratulations to Hastings, who starts a four-year term in January.

The comedian, who identifies as a libertarian, has been the subject of many an article in the MSM since he announced his intentions to be mayor. The Republic of Columbus, IN, said, “He at times had to fend off criticism of his adult-oriented humor and questions about his motives, such as whether he was seeking publicity for himself or gathering material for new comedy routines.” A piece of cake for a comedian– we’re always having our motives questioned, are we not?
