NY, LA, Chi, Phil, SF, Bos have mayors of national reknown. Another guy who I consider a "rising star" of note is Cory Booker, mayor of Newark.
Popular among urban studies students, sociology buffs and documentary movie buffs is Newark mayor Cory Booker. He was involved in a very heated/twisted race against a long-standing albeit blatantly corrupt incumbent Sharpe James. The 2005 film "Street Fight" showed how these candidates fought a tough campaign on some very tough streets.
I wouldn't list Booker among America's most well-known or notorious yet, but I feel (and hope) he's a rising star on to big things in Newark and hopefully beyond. He's a young guy with fresh ideas, new outlooks on urban problems and race. He made the circuit on a lot of news shows before and after Obama's election.
wow, he can't be well known cuz he's black? way to give texas a good name
anyways, bloomberg is head and shoulders above the rest among current mayors (and his predecessor Guliani is also up there). I'd give #2 to daley and rank villagarosa with luke ravenstahl and nagin.. as former mayors, marion berry and kwame kilpatrick are both well known, even if it's infamous.
Nutter is a decent mayor and Philadelphia's first post racist mayor (we've had racist mayors including john street but I'm not sure hwo well known he is on the national level.
He was the former four-term mayor (1994-2004) of Tempe, AZ and served as President of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) from September 2005 through January 2009.

Tom Menino has been the mayor of Boston for 16 years and is currently running in his most challenging campaign to date. 57% of Bostonians have personally met him but I'm not sure how known he is outside the commonwealth.
Well at one point he was the only hispanic mayor of Amnericas top 50 cities. He was also nominated world mayor in 2008. Is one of the strongest mayors standing for the "green" initiative.
Chávez is vice president of the National Conference of Democratic Mayors.
Under the leadership of Chávez, Albuquerque is now the 6th fastest growing large city in America with some of the most positive urban growth than any other of the top 50 large cities in America. Albuquerque has enjoyed a 17 per cent reduction in crime, a 33 per cent reduction in water use, and a job creation rate that is the envy of the rest of the state and most of the nation. The city has also begun enjoying national prominence in a number of studies and reports for factors ranging from business climate to cultural amenities.
