Who would be the best mayor of Pelican Town?

If in some alternate universe where Lewis never existed, who could run the town the best? This is ignoring the player because they’re an easy choice, not the Governor cuz he’s busy, and not Mr. Qi because he’s is basically a god. My list of best to worst will be below, but who do you think would be the best new mayor of Pelican Town? And if candidates that aren’t very good got elected, what do you think life in Pelican Town would be like?
Grandpa-literally dead, wouldn’t be able to talk to anyone but the player and maybe the wizard
Vincent-is a child, and not the smartest child either
Leo-not familiar with civil life, barely knows what a mayor is. And a child.
Dwarf-doesn’t know what a mayor is, but still is smart smart
Pam-abusive drunk
Henchman-lives in a swamp, doesn’t know what G is.
Jas-child but smart, could get there if she were grown up
Shane- non-abusive drunk
Fizz-always high on perfection candy
Gil-asleep for most of the time
Bouncer-has a work in the desert
Birdie-lives on an island
Clint-nervous wreck
Gunther-needs to worry about the museum
Demetrius-would probably cause a zombie apocalypse with that much power
Marlon-missing an eye, and is busy mining
Krobus-seems to have a good understanding of humans, but not as well as a human
Professor Snail-lives on an island
Sandy-lives in the desert
Haley-brat assuming the player doesn’t interfere
Linus-would hate his job
Abigail-would be to gorey at meetings
Alex-not the smartest
Sam-protective, but not the smartest
Sebastian-to secluded
Morris-no one likes him, but he knows how to run a company
Harvey-would still make you pay taxes when your married to him
Pierre-only a bit better than Morris
Evelyn- very old
Willy-the most average we have
Maru-might electrocute the governor
Emily-kind of crazy, but not Fizz crazy
Robin-would be a great mayor, focusing on construction of houses and expanding Pelican town
Leah-could improve the art selection for tourism
Elliot-famous author AND mayor? I’ll travel there now!
George-serious, but can bring joy when needed
Caroline-could enrich the produce of the area, attracting farmers
Jodi-would inforce rules about eating vegetables
Penny-smart and serious
Marnie-great leader, and can sell famous produce from her animals
Kent-lead in the war, can lead in a town
Gus-social chef who knows everyone
Wizard-magically makes everyone happy

Marlon leaps to mind for me as he's pragmatic and already works politicians' hours getting to work at 2pm, all while being a Guild Leader so has existing political and leadership experience. He also cares enough to give the Farmer an old rusty sword and thus the taste of bloodlust to fight all manner of beasts, and smart enough to drag your half-dead butt out of the Mines to retain his customer base. Also enough of a wily businessman to sell you real swords once you realize you need something better than an old metal toothpick he was about to toss out. Ah, the epitome of "I'll give you the first one for free…"

And while we all know he's gunning for the position of Honorable Right Keeper of the Rocking Chair of Stillness, Energy Conservation, and Delay of the Heat Death of The Universe (recently shortened to 'Gil') I think Marlon would be happy to hone his skills wearing the Mayoral Sash in the interim. And of all the people in Pelican Town, I think Marlon's the one who'd get the most out of telling that annoying judgemental Governor just where to stick his attitude just 'cuz he doesn't like fish in the soup. I'd be surprised if Marlon didn't heave the Gov's rump into the soup himself.

Aaaaaaaaand...............

Well. There are other reasons for Marlon to be mayor.

Very significant ones.

One very significant other one.

Marlon would be better than Kent as a leader imo. He's more old school but that's what the town needs.
