Ken Brown chatted to Patch after being voted in by the city council for his third term as Sonoma's mayor.

Ken Brown offered up these ideas as he wrapped up his first day of another term as Sonoma mayor, after being voted into the position by the city council at Monday's meeting.

Brown was mayor twice before—in 2001 and 2009. He is the longest serving city councilmember, having been elected in 1998.
