America’s mayors are on the frontlines of crises hitting cities across the country, yet they aren’t often heard from on the national stage. Until now.
Welcome to our 2023 Mayors Club, where we asked 50 mayors — one from each state — to take us inside their biggest challenges👇

At a town hall, @politico just announced 150 new jobs in the next year - many of those in editorial.

Earlier this year, we asked you to share any mailers you received to help us bring more transparency to elections.

A Texas official said local police made the wrong decision to wait nearly an hour to breach the Uvalde classroom where a gunman shot and killed 19 children and two teachers.
“Where I’m sitting now, of course it was not the right decision. It was the wrong decision, period.”
👇This is my new project @politico and we need your help!

For months now, parents and caregivers have struggled to find infant formula. The shortage started last summer, but it appears to have worsened in recent weeks. nitter.gq/hbottemiller/status/15…
🧵Thread on the infant formula shortage situation, which feels like a slow-moving train wreck.
First, retail stock has been rocky for months. It was already bad over the holidays, then a big recall + plant shutdown in Feb. made it worse.
Great viz here @erindataviz/@datasembly:
