This year, the nation will elect a new president who will set the priorities and policies for their administration that will impact cities for years to come. That’s why NLC launched the nonpartisan Cities Lead 2016 campaign last fall – to show the presidential candidates that by supporting city priorities and standing with city leaders, we can strengthen the nation’s economy, build and maintain our infrastructure and keep our residents safe.
With the final weeks of the 2016 election season upon us, we need your help to shape the future of America and make sure that city issues remain a top priority during this election and into the next administration. This playbook is a guide to support you in your work as an advocate for the three issue areas that are important to cities – public safety, infrastructure and the economy. The resources that follow will provide you with the tools necessary to ensure that city priorities are at the forefront of the 2016 presidential election.
