town mayor

Local government head

A town mayor is the elected or appointed chief executive of a town government.

The role typically involves presiding over town council meetings, representing the community at official functions, and overseeing municipal administration.

In smaller towns, the position may be largely ceremonial; in larger ones, it carries significant executive authority: The town mayor cut the ribbon at the new library.
