Mayor
A mayor (from the Latin māior, meaning "larger", "greater") is the modern title of the highest ranking municipal officer. In many systems, the mayor is an elected politician who serves as chief executive and/or ceremonial official of many types of municipalities. Worldwide, there is a wide variance in local laws and customs regarding the powers and responsibilities of a mayor, as well as the means by which a mayor is elected or otherwise mandated.
