Shammas Malik is the presumptive next mayor of Akron — meaning he'll likely have the chance to shape the future of his hometown in a huge way.

“I think the most important thing for me is that I have a strong vision for where the city is going,” he says. “And without a vision for where the city’s going to go, even the best manager, even the most experienced person, is going to be stuck with what has happened over the last several decades — my entire lifetime — which is managing decline.”
