The January 2026 Oakridge mayoral election was the election to seat the 15th mayor and deputy mayor of Oakridge. The winning candidate was Yeet_Boy (GER), the three-time former mayor. He was up against Dogeington Anthropy (WPR), the Attorney General of Redmont, whom he defeated in a 21-19 vote. Oakridge, a former Galactic Empire of Redmont stronghold, flipped to the Workers' Party of Redmont in mid-2025.
Background
In September 2025, Yeet_Boy and modzy_ were elected mayor and deputy mayor of Oakridge in a close election that flipped the town back from WPR control,[1] having been a GER stronghold prior to Roryyy___'s election in May 2025, defeating the GER ticket 29–25.[2]
Yeet_Boy was removed by a town council vote from the mayor's post on 23 December 2025, during his fifth term, due to inactivity. Later, Sofia Arf Arfwwwwww and Ameslap James were elected in a special to succeed him and modzy_ as mayor and deputy mayor, closely defeating Multiman 155 (NDP) and his running mate, Dogeington Anthropy.[3]
Candidates
Dogeington Anthropy (WPR)
Dogeington Anthropy's campaign was launched on the 15th.[4] Anthropy was the incumbent attorney general of Redmont and head of residence of Oakridge, and a member of the WPR's Central Committee. His running mate, Floor IsTired, is the deputy secretary of commerce. The campaign's manager was Senator Ryland Wethersbee (WPR).
The ticket was endorsed by Plura Glasshouse,[5] xDarkkex,[6] Mr Neighbor Hathaway[7] and Gwi Styx.[8]
The campaign promised to lessen mayoral power, codify spending, boost tourism and stop the implementation of Ridgewood, which includes a military base, and would require the destruction of a significant portion of the Arsky Valley forest.[9]
ragemen2 (IND)
The newly established political group known as the Oakridge National Party, though not a registered political party, assembled its ticket of ragemen2 and Gizmo_The_Grand. An officially independent ticket, the pair were disqualified because ragemen2 did not meet the 48 hour total playtime requirement.[10]
Yeet_Boy (GER)
On 15 January, Yeet_Boy declared as the Galactic Empire of Redmont (GER) ticket, with his running mate as JustaDumpling. A former Oakridge mayor, Yeet_Boy was first elected to the office in November 2023 and reelected in May 2024. He later served a third, non-consecutive term after ascending to the office as deputy mayor, replacing Mayor JustaDumpling, under whom he served. He was again reelected in February 2025 and elected to a fifth, non-consecutive term in September 2025, but was removed from office on 23 December due to inactivity and succeeded by Sofia Arf Arfwwwwww, elected in a special.[11][3]
The campaign received the endorsements of Senators Omegabiebel (RBP)[12] and zLost (GER).[13] Caldiron Jon Un posted a video to #campaign featuring Yeet_Boy asking if the viewer wants to see a magic trick, followed by him saying, "vote for me, and I'll disappear".[14]
The campaign's policies included adding more NPCs around the town, keeping the Oakridge Museum up-to-date and improving infrastructure.[15]
This ticket eventually beat that of the WPR in a very close 21-19 vote, electing Yeet_Boy as mayor, and JustaDumpling as his deputy.
Events
On 19 January, RazNews hosted a debate between the two candidates at the Oakridge Theatre.[16] The event was supported by the Department of Public Affairs, boosted with an announcement in #server-announcements and a /event warp.[17] The debate was sponsored by Alta Group and concluded around 12:40 am UTC, lasting approximately 40 minutes.[18]
