Abstract: All political scientists who study education policy start their analysis with a similar premise: "educational reform does not take place in political vacuum." Studies of the politics of school choice have focused primarily on state-level political dynamics. This line of research makes sense since the charter school market is initially created and subsequently altered by the state legislature. In this paper, however, the authors break from this trend and focus their attention on "local" government and the politics of school choice. Specifically, they examine the relationship between school choice and big city mayors. Their preliminary analysis finds that mayoral positions on school choice is influenced not only the existing legislation governing school choice in their city, but also by their city's size and racial composition. (Contains 5 tables and 65 footnotes.)
