With the development of the society, elections are becoming fairer. At the same time, as citizens, we all should pay much attention to elections and make a fair choice in order to have a better city than before. In my view, a good mayor should be just, take responsibilities and develop the city.

First, being fair is basic for a mayor to make right choices. If a mayor cannot make reasonable decisions, the whole government will be affected badly. For example, Bo Xilai, a former province leader in China, used to commit some acts of corruptions. Therefore, his behavior caused huge damage to the government and the society. In order to make the process of governing more transparent and fairer than before, he was sentenced life in prison. This event lets us know how important fairness is.

Second, being responsible is necessary for a good mayor. For example, Li Zhenguo, the former city mayor of my hometown, was beloved by his citizens because he was responsible and made benefits to us all the time. Under his leadership, our city has made much progress during those ten years. From him, I know that a city mayor should focus on making benefits for the city, no matter how big or small the city is.

Last but not least, being able to develop a city or a province is essential for a leader of a local government. If a leader just wants to be stable, the development of the society will be delayed for a long time. For example, we all know Xi Jinping as a president of China, but he was also a province head before that. Due to his leadership, Fujian Province developed fast and made much investment at that time.

All in all, I believe a good mayor should be fair, responsible and iprove a city. A good mayor also can let people live a better life than before and we can learn much from him or her.
