Mayor Phillip Fitzhugh is the town mayor.
Personality and Appearance
A stereotypical corrupt politician, Fitzhugh's actions are always motivated by a desire for re-election rather than any real ideology.
He shows a marked disinterested in the children of constituents and quite willing to lend his support to harsh punishments, even to the point of hypocrisy (as seen in The Biggest Trouble Ever), where he tried to severely punish the gang for climbing on the statue of Thaddeus T Third the 3rd until he was shamed by Thaddeus T Third the 5th who showed the town an old photo of him as a child trying to deliberately break the statue by pushing it over.
Fitzhugh has grey hair and a pointy nose, a presumably deliberate visual reference to Richard Nixon. He regularly dresses in a blue suit with a white shirt and red tie.
Interestingly in Yes Mikey, Santa Does Shave he has black hair, while in Biggest Trouble Ever he is shown with gray hair.
