this november, the city made national headlines again when it elected michael tubbs as its first african-american mayor. at 26, tubbs is also the youngest mayor ever to lead a large u.s. city. his hometown is struggling with one of the highest crime and unemployment rates in the state. joining me is stockton mayor michael tubbs. nice to have you here. >> thank you very much for having me. >> you have quite an impressive resume. you graduated from stanford with bachelor's and master's degrees, a host of leadership awards, an internship at the white house. and you probably could have chosen to go anywhere. yet, you chose to go back to stockton, why? >> i'm born and raised in stockton. growing up, so much the narrative about being successful meant i had to leave stockton. so that's what i did. but then when i was interning in the white house and intergovernmental affairs, every day my job was to work with mayors and council members nationwide. i saw at a local level people were making a difference. i thought, okay, it's important to donate to good candidates locally, but i didn't think i'd move back
