I want to be a mayor who helped, really helped.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been mayor for five years. I've led a city. And directed a police department. I know how to use resources.
As Mayor, I will lead city government, businesses, and community groups to support innovative projects that will make San Francisco streets and public places vibrant and healthy.
Right away when I got to college, I realized that being a politician sucks. It's really hard! It wasn't for me. B.J. Novak is convinced that I will run for mayor of Chicago at some point. He begs me to do it. It'd be a tough gig, but I was always very attracted to the idea of helping people and trying to make the city a better place.
I strongly believe being mayor is the public post in which you have the greatest opportunity to change peoples' lives for the better. People live in cities, not states or nations. As a mayor, you are connected directly to citizens.
I was pretty successful before Sept. 11 and fully expected that when I left being mayor I would be very successful.
I would like to run for the mayor of the city of Chicago. That has always been an aspiration of mine even when I was in the House of Representatives.
But despite the challenges, I love being your Mayor.
The mayor has got to work closely with a wide variety of people, his city council, state legislature, governor, business community, labor community, president and the congress in order to be able to do this.
I was once made honorary mayor of my hometown of Newark, Del.
I have 15 years of executive experience as a big-city mayor and as a governor.
