Thank you to Voct for the idea. Thank you to Troy for getting my ass in gear. Thank you to Echo and Scantron for reviews. Echo also gave me the list name, which is fantastic.
Ya gotta stick with what works, man.

Pretty good.
One nitpick:
Additionally, such bills are usually phrased in such a way to benefit SCP-1679 in its own unique situation; many would be markedly less effective if enacted in neighbouring towns.
Seems like it could use more elaboration.
I have less than no idea of how to draft and customize a legal bill to fit the situation of a fictional town with no set location.
I was actually coming here to post the same thing moose did. Honestly I think removing those sentences entirely would improve it. As it is, it just confused me as to what that actually meant.
"Bills that have allegedly been enacted by SCP-1679-1 have proven to be consistently and unusually effective in regards to improving the quality of life for its citizens."
That works fine by itself. Very good entry overall, though!
This is what I've been telling people we should do: elect the dead guy who screwed things up the least. +1
Wait, wait, wait. He was not elected the first time until he died, was he? And no one seems to notice/care he's dead. Impressive work. You may have my up ore. And wear it proudly.
Question: what if they attempt to assassinate him?
You're right! He was already dead when they elected him.
And regarding the second point… a couple things could happen. What do YOU think would happen?
But whoever would try to assassinate good ol' Mayor McMaster? He's such a great leader!
Idea: McMasters was the reverend of the local Fifthist church. Something something something creepy dead mayor. Thoughts?

The concept, writing, pace and tone are all great. I also kept chuckling at the idea itself, which seems to be a tongue-in-cheek reference to several elected officials who managed to beat an opponent from beyond the grave.
