Here are four major areas where the city has changed under the leadership of outgoing Mayor Jackie Biskupski:
Reflecting back on when she first took office, Biskupski said recently that she never expected to become a “climate mayor hero.” “But that has been one of the best surprises of the role and I’ve loved that work on the national level,” she said.
During her tenure, Biskupski has served as chair of the Mayors/Business Alliance for a Sustainable Future and a co-chair of the Sierra Club’s Mayors for 100% Clean Energy and has testified before Congress multiple times on climate-related issues.
