Question

In her campaign speech last night, Camila said that she would do her best to increase funding for the police and fire departments. She also talked about her plan to appoint new leaders of the parks department and the water department who will better utilize their funding to benefit the citizens. Finally, at the end of her speech, Camila promised that two new, state-of-the-art libraries will be built over the next four years. Based on the topics she covered in her speech, which position is Camila campaigning for?
A mayor
B governor
C president
D state senator

Answer 1

A — mayor.

Her promises concern municipal services (police, fire, parks, water, local libraries) and appointing local department heads, which are responsibilities of a city mayor rather than governor, president, or a state legislator.
