Mayor McLeod was chosen along with other Mayor’s from Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Utah and City Mesa Arizona. “I can relate to the show because, I remember when I ran for Mayor and was elected. I thought, what am I going to do. What have I gotten myself into,” Mayor McLeod said. He filmed the promo spot with his mother Mavorine McLeod inside the office of the Clayton police chief.
