摘要:Riverside Mayor and League Past President Ron Loveridge, elected in November 2009 to the National League of Cities’ highest office, brings to the position a unique résumé. Not only has he served on the city council for 30 years, he is also a political scientist who spent his career at the University of California, Riverside, teaching students about local government. Loveridge’s academic career led him to run for the city council in 1979 and then for mayor for the first time in 1994.
