HGTV’s Ben Napier Speaks on Political Aspirations and If He’ll Run For Office Again

Ben Napier ran as an Independent for city council in Laurel, Mississippi, on June 4, 2013, but lost the election to a Democrat.
He sought office to attract small businesses downtown, using the campaign slogan 'Big Ben Means Business' to highlight this goal.
Despite his loss, Ben and his wife Erin have revitalized Laurel's downtown with new businesses and restored buildings without his holding office.
Ben shared that he initially planned to pursue a career in politics to create positive change, but those plans did not come to fruition, and he has since stated that he will never seek public office again.
His political hopes shifted as his fame on HGTV allowed him to impact the community in other ways, suggesting his career took a different but effective path.
