So what's your new mayor like? The Daily Herald asked our new mayors and village presidents a few 'get to know you' questions Wednesday, the day after voters chose them to lead their communities.

Q. Who is your political role model?

A. I am not a politician. So I don't have a political role model.

Q. What is the first thing you want to change?

A. I really can't answer that. I am going to be in the process of putting together a transitional analysis over the next couple weeks. Then I will look into the future and what I have to do.

Q. What is your favorite movie?

A. I was a Burt Reynolds fan years ago. I like "Hooper" and "Smokey and the Bandit."

Q. How did you celebrate?

A. We just sat there in our campaign (headquarters), talked and had a few cups of coffee. And let's not lie. We had a couple beers here and there.

Q. What's the last good book you read?

A. I love Mickey Spillane. So I read his books all the time.

Q. Cubs or Sox?
