Jacksonville's New Mayor: Focus On Jobs And Small Businesses
By NPR Staff
Florida's largest city has elected Alvin Brown as its first Democratic mayor in 20 years. He's also the city's first African American mayor ever.

Host Michel Martin speaks with Brown about his victory and whether it may have wider political implications.
