I cannot wait to see what else she has in store."

Mayor Jane is truly inspired and driven by the people of Funner, determined to spread the good word of this city near and far. The first woman to hold office, the ceremony concluded with Mayor Jane being presented with a key to the city, signifying the start of her official tenure as Funner's newest mayor.

Trading in her notorious set of track suits in favor of a collection of vibrant, purple pant suits, Mayor Jane will implement the Funner state of mind – her initiatives include launching the resort's brand-new Hell's Kitchen restaurant this summer, overseeing top-tier entertainment at The Events Center, collaborating on new menu items and beverage offerings, ideating the coolest programming around, promoting the zen vibes with new spa offerings, and more – all to make sure everyone can have their own one-of-a-kind, Funner experience.

"Wow, I am incredibly humbled and so excited to be here with you all in my favorite city in the world, Funner, California," said Mayor Jane. "If you're not ready for 100 percent fun, 100 percent of the time – do I have some sorry news for you. Funner is more than a place, it's a state of mind. It's an oasis and a reprieve from the everyday mundane, where everyone is welcome and surprises can be found at every corner. It is my wish and my duty that I lead the people to join us and follow their own Funner."
