The United States Conference of Mayors

"Regardless of your political party or ideology, surely we can all agree that it’s time to turn down the temperature and bring back compassion and understanding to our political system." - @PVDMayor providencejournal.com/story/opinion/…

Jake Tapper speaks with David Sinatra, a relative of legendary crooner Frank Sinatra, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass about the crisis of veteran homelessness in the U.S.

In response to the @WhiteHouse's FY2027 budget proposal that includes significant funding cuts to numerous programs that have long been critical for American cities, USCM President @davidfholt released the following statement: usmayors.org/2026/04/06/may…

Under @MayorToddGloria’s leadership, San Diego continues to lead the charge to make housing more affordable. The city has seen a 7.5% decline in rent prices for 2-bedroom apartments since last year. kpbs.org/news/economy/2…

Building more homes lowers the cost of living for San Diegans. There’s more work ahead, but this new report shows our efforts are paying off—rents are starting to fall as supply grows. #BuildMoreHomes kpbs.org/news/economy/2…

Mayors and local leaders know what their communities need—but don’t always have the resources to make it happen. The Local Infrastructure Hub is helping to change that—supporting more than 6,000 officials to turn ideas into real improvements and deliver progress for residents in cities, towns, and villages across the country: localinfrastructure.org

Baltimore has seen nearly a 60% drop in murders since 2022. A turnaround like this doesn’t happen by accident. @MayorBMScott joined the @RTCrimeIndex’s Jeff-alytics podcast to discuss how Baltimore is leading the way and building a safer city for all its residents.

The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of American citizens, particularly women, racial and ethnic minorities, and new voters. USCM is urging senators to oppose this legislation.

On Day✌️of SXSW, @MayorKincannon, @WaltMaddox, and @KirkPWatson participated in a panel discussion about how they are leveraging the major universities in their cities to drive startup ecosystems, attract investment, nurture creativity, and build economic opportunity.

Festival goers were eager to hear about how mayors are managing the country’s data center boom!

Over the course of a few days, mayors gathered to discuss the opportunities that AI presents in our nation’s cities, and how to navigate the unknown.

As #SXSW2026 wraps up, let’s look back at the productive and insightful Civic I/O and SXSW events mayors participated in this year!
