A special mayoral election is on the horizon in the city of Cairo, sparking conversation among residents about the kind of leadership they want to see shape their future.
The upcoming election, triggered by former Mayor Booker T. Gainer’s decision to step down in March, is estimated to cost taxpayers roughly $15,000. In anticipation, locals are voicing their hopes and concerns about what the next mayor should prioritize.
