Good job.

El Paso Mayor John Cook has made the short list to be recognized as the best mayor in the world.

Cook is one of six mayors in North America and one of 25 worldwide in contention to be named the 2012 World Mayor, to be awarded in December.

Cook was unaware earlier this year that several people had nominated him for the prize.

The award is given by the London-based City Mayors Foundation, an international think tank "to promote strong and prosperous cities as well as good local government," the organization's website says. "Established in 2003, City Mayors encourages city leaders from across the world to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to long-standing urban problems such as housing, transport, education and employment."
