Idahoans and going viral go hand in hand.

We love seeing all our favorite Idahoans on TikTok and Instagram getting views and having famous videos, and it's happening again.

Malvin “Gabe” Wilson is an Idahoan from Council, Idaho, who funny enough, just won a position on the City Council! He is now the Mayor-Elect for Council, Idaho and his story first started gaining traction because he won as a write-in.

However, this isn't exactly the reason why the internet is now obsessed with him!

Wilson in particular is going viral for his looks. A local Idaho News Channel posted a story about his mayoral Journey and instead of people being excited about his policies or how he won the comment section was flooded with people excited about how he looks. Council, Idaho is about a 2-hour drive from Boise but people think that it's going to get a lot more traffic now that everyone sees their new mayor.

Everyone is so excited about Wilson being at the mayoral-elect and the comments have come up with quite a lot of theories about how his time as mayor going to play out.

Some people are begging them to put out a firefighter calendar (Wilson is a volunteer firefighter), other people think that this is a homework movie, and some people say this is the beginning of a romance story where a big city girl leaves for the small town mayor.

No matter what the case is one thing is for sure the internet sure loves Wilson.
