Twitter Rankings: Massachusetts Mayors (November 2018)

I’d hoped that as I’d processed historical Twitter data for state senators and state representatives that I’d see more active engagement between elected officials and the public as I got to cities and towns. It may just be that more neighborly interactions take place here and so Twitter isn’t as necessary a tool for constituents.
