SILVERTON, Ore. -- The nation's first openly transgender mayor is now opening his closet doors to get cash for his city.
Silverton mayor Stu Rasmussen said he's hoping someone will pay a pretty penny for what he calls "a little bit of authentic American history."
He's talking about his shoe collection –- he has hundreds of pairs in every style and color.
"I've got all day shoes," he said. "I've got eight-hour shoes, two-hour shoes, 30-minute shoes and 'come over here and look at my shoes' shoes."
