The usual issues in mayoral races are obviously local.\nCrime and police protection, city services (garbage collection, parks, snow removal) tend to be at the top of the list. TAXES are also a huge issue.\n\nDepends on whether she is playing the incumbent or the challenger as well. The incumbent obviously tries to play up what is good about the city, stresses their record on lowering taxes, providing services, fighting crime.\nChallenger obviously has to make the case that the incumbent is doing a lousy job.\n\nHope that gives you a hint about where to go.\nOne good idea might be to look at your own city's race for mayor. What did the candidates talk about in the real election?

Depending on the size of the city or town, you could go to the mayor's office to complain...But if Legal Aide said they cant do anything, then chances are your options are limited

A Mayor. Previously all the individual Councils in Greater London elected their own.\n"London", the central area most people think of - Parliament, Buckingham Palace, etc - had two Lord Mayors (Westminster City and 'the City of London' proper), I believe. But Westminster may have just been a Mayor.

A Mayor is not a legislator, he is an executive. The legislative power for a town is usually a Town Council or a Board of Directors or something like that.\n\nWhen I was in Illinois, the executive was the Village President and he met with the Village Board every week to hear complaints of how everyone's dogs were too loud and three cars on blocks was the limit for one yard.

About 5k in wages.\n\nA deputy in my view takes over when the main manager is unavailable. The assistant does not, but controls certain parts of the areas of responsibility that a main manager controls but is answerable to the main manager for these duties.\n\nAlso depends on the area of commerce.

Well, most likely that's a very small community, and the job is part-time.  I would imagine a mayor whose pay is that low is most likely retired and doing it out of love for the community (or to pursue some specific political agenda).  I would also bet that there is a "Town Administrator" that works for the mayor and makes quite a bit more money.\n\nIn some towns, the chief exec. is the First Selectman, and they may not get paid at all.  But it is a position of great prestige and influence, so people are still drawn to it.  Most Fire Chiefs only get paid a small stipend for what they do, if it's a volunteer department.\n\nIs it a position reserved for the rich?  Well, most people with experience as a top-level manager are not exactly poor, and that is the experience that qualifies you to be a mayor, so it kind of makes sense.

You need to talk to someone at the City Managers office. There is probably a list of qualifications and guidelies you can get from them...if you qualify, then start working on a campaign!

I vote in every local election.  The local officials - mayor, town board, judges - all determine how property tax dollars are spent.  They determine when and how roads get repaired and whether or not to write or enforce local legislation - like dog leash laws.\n\nLocal elections have a much greater direct impact on quality of life than the national elections, especially since many laws that impact daily life are state, county and local municipal laws.

The question lacks some specific information such as what specific job within the cities elected or appointed posts you are wanting information on. Each position does not share the same qualifications so to speak. Below is a link to the "Charter for the city of Brunswick, Ohio" within it you will find several ordinances governing the rules of qulification and how to run for various offices to include the city council, city manager and a few others.\nhttp://www.brunswick.oh.us/ordinances/charter.pdf\n\nPlease note, there may also be state laws that further restrict or specifiy other qualifications a person must meet before running for or being elected/appointed into public office. A link to the states web site is also provide for research in so inclined.\n\nhttp://ohio.gov/\n\nGood Luck

i am not necessarily an alderman, but i work with them (im the student advisor to my local city council).  an alderman is another name for a city council member.  they help the mayor run the city and make decisions on water, sewer, economic development, roads, and zoning issues in their community.  they are elected officials, so in order to be one, you have to declare your candidacy with your county clerk when it comes time for an election (every city and state is different).  i could go on for hours, so if you wanted more information, just send me a message, and ill glady go into a lot more detail.

Generally not - the mayor is normally an elected official, while the chief of police is appointed by the mayor, and there would be a conflict of interest for the mayor to hold both offices.  Just as an FYI, the Sheriff, as opposed to the chief of police, is often an elected position.
