# City Councillor

City councillors represent residents of a city in the city's council and perform local legislative duties. They examine the concerns of the residents and respond to them in an appropriate manner, and represent their political party's policies and programs in the city council as well. They communicate with governmental officials to ensure the city and its agenda are represented and supervise all operations which fall under the city council's responsibility.
