A Bay Area mayor has just received an invitation to the White House, and they're one of the youngest mayors in the country.

Leslie, who moved to Hercules four years ago, believes there has been an influx of people since the pandemic because there is more space. "And we don't have a clear sidewalk for people who are walking," the mayor said."It's kind of a major artery for us here in the city."
