To work for the people of new york, but to represent more than the people of new york. He or she stands at this countrys front door. And right there in the Media Capital itself. And ever since i can remember, the mayor has been a major representative of this country, welcoming visitors, celebrated and not from around the world. We know their names well. We know them well.
