This Summer we're travelling around the country and speaking with mayors as a part of our 'Bookmarks' segment. Today's guest is Mayor Rachel Reese who was elected as Nelson's first woman mayor in 2013. Mayor Reese has served on Nelson City Council for five terms, previously as a Councillor and Deputy Mayor. But this morning we're going to be focusing on who she is when she's not at work.
