Bella quickly refocuses to run in the upcoming election for New York City mayor. If elected, she would be the first female mayor of New York. A boisterous campaign ensues against five other big personalities, with Bella seen as the front-runner. The race occurs against the backdrop of a New York suffering from a budget crisis, severe decay and crime, a murderer on the loose, and a heat wave that leads to a blackout and days of looting, fire and vandalism. Bella wins Manhattan, but is beaten citywide by her old foe, Ed Koch.
