So, it was maybe possibly hacked. Google's cache brings up a mixture of 404 pages (on their own servers, not on the website's) and archived pages but with older page dates, so without looking through their cache and archive.org's copy some more it's hard to say.
I have a feeling the mayor's personal website might have had an issue as well, as the page you visited is no longer showing up in results; instead, DDG points us to https://columbiasc.net/mayor/about. Neither Google nor DDG has removed his site from results, nor does either flag either possibly messed-with website in question as "possibly hacked", so I don't know.
Neither redirected me or gave me any popup to the survey while checking in Waterfox tonight (version 56.2.0, released Jan. 2018). Clicked the "check for updates" button while I was in there and see it's offering to upgrade to 56.2.9, so I must've missed something in about:config, because if I'd done the ripping out of things right that button wouldn't even work. Oh, well.
