The Mayor is in charge of passing legislation as well as starting town initiatives. The Mayor will need a secretary who will sort through complaints, but the mayor will be the one to try to affect changes. If people are complaining about crime, the mayor may choose to build new police-stations, increase the penalties for crime, employ more police, etc.
Mostly, the Mayor's job is to ensure the happiness of CCRPV's citizens. As such, they have good deal of power.
They may make changes to the 'income level' stat, they must approve the building of new properties (Although I will likely dictate what the actual requirements are). They also allow the approval of new citizens, and may indict other citizens. They are also in charge of creating and managing Town events. Irrespective, they might have to communicate a good deal with me~
As for people announcing their candidacy, I'll let you know when we hold the elections (SOON).
TL;DR Keep citizens happy and respond to the problems they have. Citizens with questions/problems can message the Mayor's secretary anonymously or named with the 'subject' field as whatever they prefer~ I.E: "Problems", "A request", etc.
