Fall River recently elected 24-year-old Jasiel Correia to be its third mayor in less than a year, as well as the youngest mayor in the city’s history. Last fall, Correia defeated Sam Sutter, who was elected in the wake of former mayor Will Flanagan’s resignation last year.
In this interview with WCAI, Correia tells Morning Edition co-host Brian Morris that he wants to attract new businesses to the city and find ways to keep young people from leaving.
