Stephanie Rawlings talks with Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner about the challenges he faces as Mayor of the nation’s fourth-largest city. Now serving his 2nd term, Mayor Turner has managed significant challenges, including leading Houston’s response to the COVID-19 global pandemic and responding to national unrest and calls for improving community/police relations. 
Mayor Sylvester discusses these challenges, how being smart on crime does not mean being soft on crime, how he’s on a mission to enact such smart-on-crime policies as Mayor, and answers the question: What keeps him up at night?
