Brooke Huckaby Wilson (/ˈhʌkəbi/, born March 4, 2003[1][failed verification]) is an American politician who is currently the mayor of Arabi, Georgia. Elected at 20, Huckaby is currently the youngest elected mayor in the history of Georgia[2] and the youngest elected female mayor in the history of the United States.[3]
Career
[edit]After Huckaby's father, Craig Huckaby, declined to run for another term as mayor, Huckaby chose to put her name on the ballot and run for mayor to succeed him.[4] Huckaby, a Republican,[5] was elected mayor on November 7th, 2023 at 20 years old, becoming the youngest elected female mayor in the history of Georgia and the United States.[6] Some on social media have criticized that nepotism on behalf of her father who was previously the mayor, and Arabi's small population were reasons Huckaby was elected.[7] Huckaby's goals as mayor include establishing a police force in Arabi[8] and inspiring other members of Gen Z to become active in politics.[9][10][11]
In a meeting with the Cordele Rotary Club on April 15, 2026, Huckaby announced her intention to run for reelection in 2028.[12] Huckaby also announced the plan for new recreational infrastructure and a wastewater treatment facility in Arabi, along with the completed implementation of a city police department and high-speed Wi-Fi.[12]
Personal life
[edit]Concurrent with serving as mayor, Huckaby is a student at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC), where she is majoring in agricultural technology.[13] Huckaby also works as a part-time employee for the Georgia Department of Agriculture.[14]
Huckaby sang the national anthem at a Donald Trump rally in Macon on November 3, 2024.[15]
Huckaby married her husband, Cole Wilson, on November 16, 2024.[16]
