Honored to represent local governments today at the @Nasdaq Economic Opportunity Summit. It’s my pleasure to share the strength and leadership of local officials as they create economic prosperity neighborhoods by neighborhood.
Local leaders are actively engaging with their residents about data center deveopment and together they are figuring our the right decision for their community. Through the NLC Data Center Local Action Tracker local governments can research and find the right policy solutions
Local governments across the country are responding to rapid growth in data center development. Cities, towns and counties are adopting zoning standards, negotiating development agreements, reviewing infrastructure impacts, establishing moratoria and taking other actions to shape how data centers are proposed, approved and operated.
NLC’s Data Center Local Action Tracker documents publicly available examples of these actions, helping local leaders, staff, researchers and community partners understand emerging policy approaches and compare responses across the country.

Last night in partnership with @OurMayors and @NBCLEO we celebrated and honored the long tradition and lasting impact of American Black leadership. It was an excellent reminder of the service we provide to the communities we love.
I had the honor to Zoom with some young scholars today as they celebrate Literacy Week at the South Bay branch of the @pbclibrary. I am so proud of all the kids for reading everything they can
Pleased to be in the beautiful city of Savannah, GA, with my friend, @MayorJohnsonSAV as we start looking forward to a new year
I’ve seen firsthand how much local leaders can accomplish when they bring their experience, ideas and voices to the table. Serving in an NLC leadership role is one of the best ways to expand impact beyond your own community and help shape the future of local government nationally
Applications for 2027 NLC leadership positions are now open.
If you’re an elected official from an NLC direct member city, I encourage you to apply and help ensure local governments continue to deliver. nlc.org/initiative/leadershi…
The Large City Council Presidents' Convening last week in Houston was an exceptional opportunity for the legislative leaders of America's largest cities to get together to strengthen leadership, deepen peer connections & address the unique challenges facing large cities

The landmark 21st Century #ROADtoHousing Act is now law, and it’s a perfect time to discover or revisit NLC’s Housing Supply Accelerator Fact Sheet Series.
With a housing supply shortage of almost 4 million units in the United States, this series explores solutions in three critical areas: construction and development, land use and regulations, and finance.

National League of Cities applauds enactment of the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. NLC has long advocated for Congress and administrations to recognize and increase federal support for local governments’ efforts to improve housing attainability and affordability in cities, towns and villages.

I recently had the pleasure of joining @OurMayors & @EricKearney at @NCBMP_ to discuss how local leaders are on the front lines of policy impact, cities navigate change, manage resources and drive outcomes in today’s environment

As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding, leaders of the nation’s seven principal state and local government organizations convened April 20 in @cityofokc for a historic State and Local Leadership Summit focused on the future of American federalism and intergovernmental collaboration.
The convening was hosted by Oklahoma's @GovStitt, Chair of the @NatlGovsAssoc, and organized by the National League of Cities in its role as Chair of the Big Seven State and Local Government Associations.

This week is the Week of the Young Child, but early childhood is always top of mind at NLC!
For decades, NLC has been connecting local leaders to trusted early childhood resources and peer groups, because investing in young children is essential to building strong, resilient communities.
Municipal leaders play a critical role in shaping environments where young children and their families, and the early childhood workforce, can thrive.
When cities prioritize investments in the earliest years, they’re making a strategic choice that supports healthy development, strengthens future learning and drives long-term success.
I was heartbroken to learn of the passing of Nancy Metayer, Vice Mayor, Coral Springs, FL. She will forever be remembered as an exemplary leader in her community and with NLCs. She improved the lives of so many people who were fortunate to know her.
I am honored to be one of the 250 working in government across the country recognized as a Local Gov 250 Champ and this year marks an especially important time for our country to honor them. All of the 250 Champs are true innovators who make substantial differences in our lives
