How to change the island representative in Animal Crossing
Sadly, you can't change the island representative in Animal Crossing: New Horizons after you've set it up. The island rep is the first player who started the game on the Nintendo Switch. If you really need to change it, your only option is to delete the island and start over, which means saying goodbye to all your progress. Think carefully if it's worth it!

Nope, you're stuck with your choice. The only way to change the island rep in Animal Crossing is to completely reset your game. Tough decision, so hope you like your original rep!
Been there, tried that. Wanted my brother to take over as island rep because he's way more into landscaping. Found out the hard way you have to erase your whole island to make that switch. Not worth it IMO, just learned to live with it and negotiate for more playtime to get my island looking nice.
