I want to be mayor of a small-medium size town. I’m extremely introverted, but for some reason I have no problem talking to people in a problem-solving context

I want to be mayor of a small-medium size town. I’m extremely introverted, but for some reason I have no problem talking to people in a problem-solving context (like at work). I enjoy it, in fact. In a social setting though, I’m off in a corner. I also just like the idea of diplomacy and making meaningful contributions to a community. Besides that, the superficial things seem like a lot of fun too (ribbon cutting ceremonies, parades, etc).

These days there is the mayor and then the city manager (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_manager https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_manager). As an introvert and possibly engineering-minded person (broad generalization based on being on HN) maybe city manager is more your speed?
