As of the time of writing, Ben Napier is neither a Republican nor Democrat.
However, he is an independent candidate.
In 2013, he bid for the local city council in Mississippi with his slogan, "Big Ben for Small Business."
However, he lost the election with 44%.
Neverthelless, his political future is unclear. When he was asked in an interview on CBS Sunday Morning whether he would run for an election in the future, he stated: "I will absolutely never run for office again."
His wife concurred saying: "No, never run for office again, please. I can’t take it."

When is Ben and Erin Napier's baby due?
Ben and Erin were college sweeethearts before they tied the knot in 2008.
While the homeowner pays for the house and renovations on "Home Town," Phillips said the Napiers stayed within their budget and made the renovation affordable by doing much of the work themselves. Filming for TV, they enjoyed the perk of completing renovations on an accelerated timeline.
“This season, you're going to meet some new folks since our project manager, Jonathan, took a new opportunity in Florida, in the town where he grew up,” the home design expert penned. “Our new project managers, Chase and Katie, have been champs at managing the TV construction learning curve.
And for about a decade, Ben's career was actually in ministry. Though he resigned from his position at Laurel First United Methodist Church in 2014 to devote his time to the family businesses, the Napiers are still active members of the congregation.
The homeowners' budget usually does allow for lots of pieces they get to keep + the custom pieces @scotsman.co builds for each home and I like to use the homeowner's own furnishings and objects as much as possible," she explains.
And what about the increased taxes and utility costs that have sometimes contributed to foreclosures in the past? "HGTV doesn't cover the cost of the mortgage," the network confirmed to CountryLiving.com. But they do take many measures to ensure the experience is as affordable—and sustainable—as possible.
As for Ben, he explained to People, "We approach everything as a team." That may be true; however, they both have their own specific tasks when it comes to renovating and their own skillset. Indeed, Ben tends to take care of the wood-related work, which is why you might have assumed that he's a contractor or carpenter.
A truck stolen from a Mississippi celebrity has been located. According to WDAM, Laurel police officers recovered the vintage Chevrolet Blazer belonging to Ben Napier of the hit HGTV show “Home Town.” The gold and cream-colored classic car was taken from his carport early Thursday morning.
“Though we only had the pleasure of knowing him for a few short months, we are heartbroken to tell you that our friend Mr. John Combe from one of our favorite episodes of all time passed away on April 4 here in Laurel,” she wrote.
Randy helped Ben build custom furniture pieces on Home Town prior to announcing his departure from the series in April 2022. “This is the most rewarding and humbling job I've ever had! In the past 3 years, working with @laurelmercantile has taught me more than I could ever forget,” he wrote on Instagram at the time.
“I've never drank. I've never taken anything so it was like, 'Whoa,'” he said. Home Town viewers will get a glimpse into that post-op journey via a recorded FaceTime call Ben had with Erin at the time.
Are Homes expensive in Laurel Mississippi? No they aren't expensive. Homes in Laurel, Mississippi, are generally considered affordable when compared to national averages. The city's lower cost of living, stable economic landscape, and historical charm contribute to reasonable housing prices.
Erin is an artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design, Ben is a woodworker with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history, both graduates from the University of Mississippi. Together, we're doing what we can to revitalize our town by restoring historic homes on HGTV's Home Town.
Unscrupulous contractors can use this misconception to overcharge homeowners and under bid honest professionals. This is especially frustrating to the knowledgeable pros that bid jobs accurately and stand behind their bids. Celebrity renovators like Alison Victoria from HGTV's show Kitchen Crashers are not real.
Eventually, Erin took to Twitter to explain what happened to the beloved flooring master. “Guys, I know y'all miss Mike. We do too! He's on a leave of absence caring for a family member with a long-term illness,” the graphic designer explained in a January 2022 tweet.
What makes Home Town so special is that all of the work is being done in Ben and Erin's actual home town of Laurel, Mississippi. According to the town's website, Laurel's population is 18,500 and is located 30 miles north of Hattiesburg and 60 miles south of Meridian.
To put it simply, no. While HGTV doesn't specifically address payment in their application, they do note that homeowners now must have a $100,000 renovation budget (this requirement was previously $50,000 and then $75,000). So we assume that means participants are not in this for the paycheck!
Almost all home renovation shows—save your Extreme Home Makeovers and other more charitable productions—require the homeowner to pay for their own renovation. This means footing the bill for everything from the materials to the permits to the dumpsters, not to mention the porta potty workers use on-site.
But the contestants definitely are not in it for the money. Unlike many reality TV competition shows, the winners do not come home with a grand prize or a giant check. For Rock the Block, it's more about bragging rights for the winning team. According to HGTV, the winning team receives their name on the street sign.
