Former Mayor of Carmel

It has been more than 30 years since Clint Eastwood, also known to his fans as "Dirty Harry," was mayor of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea, but visitors continue to ask "Is Clint Eastwood still the mayor?" referring to his one term that ran from 1986 to 1988. His campaign slogan was "Bringing the Community Together," and he stressed his desire to build bridges between the business community and the residential community. His strategy worked and though he enjoyed his experience, he did not to run for a second term.
