This week on Quick to Politic we sit down with Mayor of Pontiac, Michigan Deirdre Waterman. We talk about the challenges she faced turning a city around and what she hopes will be the legacy of her city.   On January 1, 2014, Dr. Deirdre Waterman was sworn-in as Mayor of the City of Pontiac, the first woman mayor in Pontiac’s long and storied history.  In 2017, Mayor Waterman made history once again as the first mayor to earn a second term, signaling a strong message and mandate that Pontiac citizens believe in her vision for the future.  As Mayor, she governs the city that she spent over four decades of her career collaborating with others to solve some of the city’s most challenging issues.
