Shantytown Mayor
ceremonial
optics-focused
community representative
The Shantytown Mayor stands as the local official tapped for a feel-good photo-op with President Bartlet. Charlie invokes the image of Bartlet draping his arm around the mayor to counter superstition after Mr. Keith's Hoover anecdote and amid a 685-point Dow plunge blamed on the Gehrman-Driscol fund collapse. This reference underscores staff efforts to prioritize political optics and scheduled public events over personal anxieties during economic crisis, positioning the mayor as a symbolic grassroots figure in campaign imagery.
