List of Recurring South Park Characters - Mayor McDaniels

Mayor McDaniels is the mayor of South Park. In one episode, she is discovered ordering Officer Barbrady to perform oral sex on her, and in another, she indicates obliquely that they have had dealings with the Japanese mafia. Her civic ideas for the city are often made without regard for future consequences, which are usually disastrous. In "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo", she tries to resolve offended feelings towards the public school Christmas play by having a play created that makes no references to any religion or religious holiday, resulting in an esoteric production that all the townspeople loathe. In "Summer Sucks", after all fireworks are declared illegal with the exception of snakes, the town is endangered by a giant snake she arranges to have set off. She attempts suicide in "Die Hippie, Die", after a hippie music festival she signs the permit for has deleterious effects on the town. In "Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut", when Garrison asks the question of who has not slept with Mrs. Cartman, she exchanges uncomfortable glances with Principal Victoria, implying that she, like most everyone else in South Park, has at some point been involved with Cartman's mother.

McDaniels was conceived because Trey Parker and Matt Stone wanted the mayor to be someone more sophisticated than other South Park residents and believed she was better than the rest of the town.
