National Conference of Democratic Mayors

Democratic Mayors played an integral role in the 2012 elections, and it was noticed and appreciated.

Mayors worked tirelessly and in unprecedented ways. In Charlotte, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa chaired the Democratic National Convention, Mayor Julian Castro became the first Latino Mayor in history to give the Keynote Speech, and an historic eight Democratic Mayors spoke.

Mayors toured battleground states by bus, visited college campuses, hosted debate watch parties, engaged via social media, spoke at gatherings and rallies across America, wrote opinion pieces for newspapers, gave statements and interviews in English, Spanish and other languages, and canvassed on the phone and door to door.

This was a big night across the board for Democrats.
