Miami Mayor Francis Suarez on Monday became the first Mayor from the Magic City since 2008 to become president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, a nonpartisan group including 1,400 mayors from America’s largest cities.

Suarez, 44, was inaugurated as the organization’s president in a downtown Miami ceremony less than two months after recapturing the city mayoralty, a win that clinched for him the U.S. Conference’s top elected spot.

In a speech, he discussed plans to “set an agenda for urban America” to tackle poverty, housing affordability and climate change while promoting cryptocurrency through a “mayoral crypto compact.”
