America First Policy Institute Launches Mayors’ Council Led by Scott Singer

Washington D.C.— Today, the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) proudly announced the launch of the America First Mayors’ Council, a new national initiative dedicated to empowering local leaders and strengthening the connection between federal policy and local governance.

The council, modeled after AFPI’s successful Governors’ Council, will serve as a forum for mayors across the country who are committed to putting families first, restoring local control, and advancing America First principles in their communities.

“America’s future is being written in our neighborhoods, not in the halls of Washington,” said Mayor of Boca Raton Scott Singer, Chair of the America First Mayors’ Council. “This initiative brings together local leaders who are on the frontlines every day to build stronger, safer, and more prosperous communities.”

The America First Mayors’ Council is uniquely focused on the intersection of national policy and local impact, in a first-of-its-kind initiative aimed at elevating the voices of mayors with the tools, data, and community engagement strategies needed to deliver results.

“Our Nation was built from the bottom up, not the top down,” said Ashley Hayek, AFPI Executive Vice President. “This council reflects our belief that real change happens when local leaders are empowered to lead free from federal overreach and bureaucratic interference.”

The council is launching with the strong backing of mayors from across the country, including the following local leaders:

  • Chair, Mayor Scott Singer, Boca Raton, Florida
