Can you give me suggestions for an interview with a mayor?

Question

What topic and kinds of questions should I ask? I am about to interview a mayor of a small rural town for a project. The interview should be light and a bit candid. No deep and serious political stuff like his views on corruption or who the next president should be...

Can you give me suggestions for a specific topic and the kinds of questions I should ask?

Answer 1

First question:

Ask him/her if he/she knows any good jokes that he/she thinks your readers or listeners would like.

I'm serious.

His/her answer will tell you a lot about him/her as a person.

Answer 2

Ask the mayor, What plans do you have for the coming near

future for the community.and what do you think should be on

top of your list..

Answer 3

just be yourself. act natural
