"The name 'Van Buren' is a name that has always stood for integrity."
—Van Buren[src]


Van Buren is the former mayor of Central City.

Biography

At some point after Anthony Bellows was arrested,[1] Van succeeded him as mayor of Central City.

In January 2018, Van unveiled Kord Industries' new R&D research facility in Central City, proudly declaring it to be completely protected against any meta-human attacks. Suddenly, the entire building seemingly disappeared (courtesy of Dwarfstar), much to Van's frustration.[2]

After the death of Iron Heights warden Gregory Wolfe during a prison break[3] Van held a press conference, (falsely) praising the warden as a hero. She began a campaign to restore the city's faith in public servants.

Shortly after Barry Allen was cleared of all charges in the murder of Clifford DeVoe, Van ordered captain David Singh to indefinitely suspend Barry, which is actually a polite way of saying that he is being fired from the CCPD until he could unambiguously prove his innocence due to the unclear details in the case.[4] During this period, she also requested a personal meeting with "DeVoe".[5]

According to Singh, Van read Iris West's blog, giving her enough evidence to restore Barry's position.[6]

Several days later and following the arrest of Spencer Young, the news media mentioned that Van resigned as mayor of Central City.[7]
