Normally when a politician becomes the mayor of a major city, it’s because they’ve supposedly spent their career working in the city and advancing its interests. Eric Adams became the mayor of New York after working in local law enforcement for more than 20 years. So did the mayor of Fresno, a man named Jerry Dyer. Meanwhile, the new mayor of San Francisco, Daniel Lurie, helped ensure that the Bay Area would be the home of Super Bowl 50 a few years back.
That’s not to say that these are necessarily good politicians. But if you look through their careers, at the very least, you’ll find that they clearly had an interest in the city that they would later represent as mayor.
