Don’t you just love stories about how other writers have made it in TV or films? Don’t you wish those stories were about you?

Jeremy Bronson got his start in TV working as a producer for longtime MSNBC host Chris Matthews. So, it’s only fitting that his new series The Mayor is about – you guessed it – politics. The half-hour comedy centers on a struggling young rapper named Courtney Rose who runs for mayor of his small town to increase his celebrity and ends up winning.

Ahead of Tuesday’s series premiere, Bronson reflects on how he made it.
