18-year-old Jaylen Smith has been elected the mayor of Earle, Arkansas on Tuesday night, becoming the youngest Black mayor in the United States.

Smith won the election with 218 votes, compared to his competitor’s 139. 

Smith, 18, defeated Nemi Matthews Sr. in a runoff election.


Matthews is the superintendent of Earle with more than four decades of experience working in the small Arkansas town, which has a population of under 2,000 people and is situated about 30 miles northwest of Memphis.

In an interview with FOX13 last month, Smith, who recently graduated from high school, talked about his goals if he was elected the mayor of Earle.

“First, I want to improve public safety here. Secondly, tear down abandoned houses … transportation here for the community, bring a grocery store here,” he said.

He captioned the photo above "
Citizens of Earle, Arkansas, it’s official!! I am your newly elected Mayor of Earle, Arkansas… “It’s Time to Build a Better Chapter of Earle, Arkansas.” I would like to thank all my supporters for stepping up getting people to the polls. I am truly grateful for you all.".
