Adrian O. Mapp is a proven public servant, executive leader, and community advocate who believes leadership starts with listening and is measured by results. A four-term Mayor, Adrian has spent his career bringing people together to solve real problems and strengthen the communities he serves.

Born in Barbados and raised in a working-class family, Adrian understands firsthand the challenges facing families striving to get ahead. That lived experience has shaped his leadership—grounded in empathy, accountability, and a deep sense of responsibility to others.
