Not sure I’d give tons of credit/blame to mayors though. Interesting notes though.
Pretty sure this list includes entire metropolitan areas (first few links just copy pasta’d the chain email). That’d make a difference, since they’re lumping suburbs of the major cities in with these Democratic mayors.
Interesting stuff, either way. Will try and find more

Yes, I’m sure it has everything to do with NOT electing a Republican to the very limited position of mayor, and not you know, the death of American industrialism, outsourcing jobs to China, an influx of immigrants, etc. DEFINITELY the mayor thing.
