Youngstown Mayor, Jamael Tito Brown was inaugurated into his second term as mayor Wednesday night.

Dozens gathered at Union Baptist Church to officially celebrate the start of Mayor Brown's second term. 

Brown says he will continue to focus on pandemic relief efforts, as well as mental health for city residents and workers. He went on to say that rising crime continues to be his biggest challenge as mayor. 

"We want to make sure those who are the detractors, that we get them off the street, but we also want to make sure that we continue to build trust with our citizens going into 2022," Brown said.

There are no term limits for Youngstown mayor, so Brown says he's taking things one election at a time and looks forward to kicking off his second term.
