Care To Guess How Many Of The Deadliest Cities In The U.S. Have A Republican Mayor?

• • Of the 20 cities with the highest homicide rates in the country, 14 are located in blue or purple states.
  • Just one of the remaining six currently has a Republican mayor – Dallas’ Eric Johnson – and he was twice elected as a Democrat, and switched to become a Republican in his second term.
  • The remaining five cities, despite being in red states, have been under Democratic control for years, if not decades.
