A serious presidential candidate can access better personal protection than a local mayor.

Local politicians throughout the world are more vulnerable and are attacked more than high ranking politicians in absolute numbers. Whether the same holds true in relative numbers i dont know right now as there is of course many more mayors than presidents.
