Mayors Deliver.

Statement from DMA on the DOJ Investigation of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey:

This is an obvious attempt to intimidate me for standing up for Minneapolis, our local law enforcement, and our residents against the chaos and danger this Administration has brought to our streets. I will not be intimidated. My focus will remain where it’s always been: keeping our city safe.

Helena Moreno and the New Orleans Comeback Everyone Is Watching Facing deep financial and political challenges, the new mayor — a Latina former journalist — is betting New Orleans can still recover.

"...Moreno’s coalition is also a testament to her own sweat equity. Combining name (and face) ID from her years as a local TV anchor and a history as a state representative and leader on the city council, she showed up at everything but the opening of an envelope."

Mayor Greenberg is right: while Democratic mayors have made major strides to reduce crime, there's more
work to do. Watch his interview here: www.wave3.com/2025/12/18/m...

Trump turns Miami’s mayoral race into a referendum on himself In a Truth Social post Sunday night, the president weighed in on the race for Miami mayor, throwing his support behind Emilio González, a Republican in the officially nonpartisan contest.

Takes one corrupt politician to know one 😎

Miamians want leaders who work for the people - not themselves - and are ready to say no to Trump & yes to Eileen Higgins in December.

Mayors listen. Mayors lead.

Mayors of Baltimore, Chicago talk similar gameplans for public safety "We're taking the same approach. The full force of government has to participate to build safe and affordable communities," Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said in Baltimore Monday.

Mayors are working tirelessly to keep cities safe and the federal government should listen to them, not stand in the way.
