The Exit Interview (Sort Of): A Conversation with Mayor Daniel Biss

He's led Evanston for years — now he's setting his sights on Washington. In this episode, we sit down with Mayor Daniel Biss for a wide-ranging conversation about his time in City Hall and what people misunderstand about the role and responsibilities of mayor, what he's most proud of (and what he'd do differently), and why he's decided to run for Congress in the 9th District. He takes our concerns about getting better Evanston merch seriously (thank you!), talks about what it was like growing up in Indiana and running out of math classes by 8th grade, and doesn't take offense when we tell him dads are annoying!
We talk through some of the issues that have defined his mayorship (Ryan Field, D65 drama, Envision Evanston) and why he has to leave us for Washington D.C. It's part retrospective, part campaign preview and a candid look at a local leader stepping onto a much bigger stage.
This episode is the first in our mayoral series where we speak to our current mayor, and then in subsequent episodes to the candidates running to replace him in the new year. We hope you enjoy!
