The mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, has strong ties to Pittsburgh.
Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, attacked by President Donald Trump on Twitter for her "poor leadership" in the wake of Hurricane Maria, graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, according to Channel 11 News' exchange partner The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
According to the Tribune-Review, Cruz lived in Bethel Park, Squirrel Hill and Shadyside from 1984 to 1992.
Cruz received a master’s degree in public management and policy from CMU.

Cruz complained in multiple interviews about the U.S. administration's response to the crisis in Puerto Rico. She said thousands of people are without food and water, and people who require medical care are going without treatment, the Tribune-Review reported.
“People are dying in this country,” said Cruz in a televised news conference on Friday. “I am begging, begging anyone that can hear us, to save us from dying. If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying and you are killing us with the inefficiency and the bureaucracy.”
The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump.
