MML’s annual “If I Were Mayor, I Would…" essay contest is the League's oldest ambassador program. The 25-year-old contest educates fourth graders (and teachers) about municipal government and the role of the mayor. 

There’s still time to visit your local schools to encourage fourth-grade teachers to enter their students in our contest before the March 7 deadline.

Essays are stronger when students hear from the municipal officials who run their cities and towns. Though students love to hear from the mayor, any municipal official can make a school visit.

Encourage your local 4^th grade teachers to visit the Essay page for more information.

Ready, Set, Go Visit.
