city mayors
Urban chief executives
City mayors are the elected or appointed officials who serve as chief executives of municipal governments.
The phrase is typically used when discussing mayors collectively—their powers, salaries, or political influence as a group: City mayors across the country called for federal infrastructure funding.
When referring to a specific individual, the simpler mayor suffices.
