Satya Rhodes-Conway

 * Symbol confirmed.svg new enough. Long enough at 2275 chars readable prose. Seems neutral, without copyvios, with citations, and generally within policy. The hook is OK - though not very hooky. Mentioning she is the first openly-gay mayor or tying in the quip from NBC that 2019 is poised to be the "year of the lesbian mayor" may be hookier - but that's within nominators discretion.

 * ALT1 ... that Satya Rhodes-Conway is the first openly gay politician to serve as Mayor of Madison, Wisconsin? (same sources as above)
 * ALT2 ... that American politicians Satya Rhodes-Conway and Lori Lightfoot won elections on the same date, leading 2019 poised to be "the year of the lesbian mayor?" (same sources as above)
 * Thanks for the review. The full quote has been contextualized and attributed within the article, and featured in one of the hooks above. Vycl1994 (talk) 15:18, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT1 Good to go (you should indicate whether you prefer the original hook or ALT1). ALT2 has a grammar issue ("leading 2019 poised to be ") + you need to attribute this to whomever said this (I don't think saying this in our voice is appropriate - we should clearly attribute to Annise Parker).Icewhiz (talk) 16:05, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, regarding the voice and attribution of ALT2, and wrote it the way I did largely due to hook length considerations. I'd move forward with ALT1, though. Vycl1994 (talk) 16:46, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1. I think suggesting increasing hookiness doesn't make me too involved - but I'll be up front and say that I did above. Icewhiz (talk) 16:49, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
