What does the Mayor of Kingstown do?

Instead of asking what the Mayor of Kingstown is about, many viewers want to know what the town’s “mayor” does? First off, he’s not the official mayor of the city. The McLusky family serves as power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan. They try to keep order in Kingstown through their personal and professional connections, influencing people to do what they want. 

In the first episode of the crime drama, there’s a Big Sky-like twist. The “Mayor” — Mitch McLusky (Kyle Chandler) — dies, and Mike takes over. The first episode clues viewers into the job of the “Mayor.” He keeps the peace between the police, criminals, inmates, correctional officers, and even politicians by leveraging the family’s connections and, of course, money.
