Recently re-elected to his second term as Mayor of his hometown, Michael A. Nutter has set an aggressive agenda for America's fifth largest city – devising the City's innovative school reform strategy, vowing to strengthen community policing through Philly Rising, and continuing to implement the nationally recognized GreenWorks Philadelphia initiative that is helping to make the City of Philadelphia become the greenest city in America.

In June 2012, Mayor Nutter became President of the United States Conference of Mayors. As President, Mayor Nutter represents the Conference by promoting the development of effective national urban/suburban policy; strengthening federal-city relationships; and ensuring that federal policy meets urban needs.

Born in Philadelphia and educated at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Michael Nutter served almost 15 years on the Philadelphia City Council, earning the reputation of a reformer, before his election as Mayor of Philadelphia. He is happily married to his wife Lisa, and a proud parent to Christian and Olivia.
