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.

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.

The true privilege of being Mayor is that I have the opportunity to be everyone's neighbor.

That's what mayors do. They lobby Congress to provide resources for their city.

You have the biggest impact on controlling, on affecting local lives as mayor. It's so much more important than being a state legislator.

I want to be a mayor who helped, really helped.

We need a mayor who knows how to balance a budget, who understands the urgency of delivering all the services that a great city needs, who understand the need of working families.

As Mayor, I will use my experience to make San Francisco a place where small businesses can thrive.

Your Mayor must seek new ways to bring jobs and industry to our community.
