In December last year, history was made in Brookhaven, Georgia, after John Park was elected the state's first-ever Asian-American mayor. He won a runoff with 59-percent of the vote. 

After being first elected to the city council in 2014, Park had campaigned on his experience as a longtime Brookhaven council member and now assumes his role as mayor at a pivotal time for Brookhaven, with various challenges and opportunities shaping the city's future. 

Mayor Park joins the show to tell us more about his story.
