Presidential candidates come from a number of different backgrounds. They can be senators or members of Congress, governors or business-people. But, they’re generally not mayors.

Williams served two terms as mayor of Washington, D.C., and is now CEO of the Federal City Council in D.C., a nonprofit working to improve that city.
