A mayor must preserve the rich history of the town.
A mayor has a duty to serve as a steward of the community’s heritage, ensuring that its history is preserved rather than erased. By protecting historical landmarks, traditions, and stories, the mayor safeguards the identity and collective memory of the people they represent. Preserving history allows future generations to learn from the past, understand their roots, and build a stronger sense of belonging. Erasing it, by contrast, risks losing valuable lessons and cultural richness that define the character of a city.
