Kathy Sheehan is the Mayor of the City of Albany. Her favorite part of her job is the ability to have a positive impact on the lives of Albany's citizens, whether it's repaving a street or reimagining a park. 

Sheehan's top priorities for the upcoming year are building more affordable housing and a community center in under-resourced neighborhoods. 

Sheehan describes her city as "historic, diverse, and kind." She is currently reading "All the Light We Cannot See."
