Robert Tufts lost election for a third term as honorary mayor of a northern Minnesota town but he took the defeat in stride and is looking forward to kindergarten, his mother said on Tuesday.

羅伯特．塔虎茲的母親週二表示，羅伯特在爭取第三度出任明尼蘇達州北部一座城鎮的榮譽市長的選舉中敗北，但他以平常心面對，並期待上幼稚園。

Robert, who is 5 years old, did not campaign this year for mayor of Dorset, which picks an honorary leader in a drawing each August during its Taste of Dorset festival, Emma Tufts said.

艾瑪．塔虎茲說，5歲大的羅伯特今年並未參選多塞特市長。多塞特市每年8月在「多塞特美食節」上以抽籤方式選出榮譽市長。

"We explained to him the importance of letting someone else have a turn," she said in an email. "He understood but as with anyone, still hoped he would win."

「我們向他解釋讓其他人做做看的重要性，」她（艾瑪．塔虎茲）在一封電子郵件中寫道。「他（羅伯特）了解，但仍跟其他人一樣希望能勝出。」
