After my recent statistical deep research into Twitter recently (found here - ) I decided to look into crime rates within cities per the FBI report and check into which cities were controlled by which groups, party, etc. We all know the usual suspects of the major cities but what about the mid range cities which house about 100,000 to 250,000 citizens? That is where I began my research and, again per the FBI crime report (2017 as I could not locate the 2018, might not be out yet), the following are the highest per capita in regards to violent crime, drug busts and sexual trafficking busts. I am currently working on an easy to follow graph with primary source links but for the time being as I work on that I thought my fellow anons may be interested in this and it may spur on or help them with an idea for their own research.
Anyhow here we go. Again, these are the mid range cities of 100,000 to 250,000:
1) Flint, MI:
Mayor - Karen Weaver (Democrat)
2) Jackson, MS
Mayor - Chokwe Antar Lumumba (Democrat)
3) Dayton, OH
Mayor - Nan Whaley (Democrat)
4) Springfield, MO
Mayor - Ken McClure (Democrat)
5) Knoxville, TN
Mayor - Madeline Rogero (Democrat)
6) New Haven, CT
Mayor - Toni Harp (Democrat)
7) Lawton, Oklahoma
Mayor - Stan Booker (Democrat)
8) Richmond, CA
Mayor - Tom Butt (Democrat)
9) W.Palm Beach, Florida
Mayor - Keith James (Democrat)
10) Little Rock, Arkansas
Mayor - Frank Scott Jr. (Democrat)
Tied with -
10) Pueblo, CO
Mayor: Nick Gradisar (Democrat)
The above are, at the time of the 2017 FBI Crime report, the 10 most crime ridden cities in regards to violent crimes such as murder, rape, etc. So in every case, from one to ten, every single case, the city is managed by a Mayor who is a Democrat.
I recalled the usual suspects from the major city crime filled cities but I looked into it again to see if anything has changed since the last time I checked and I figured my fellow anons may be curious about it as well so I will add the major cities now:
1) St. Louis, MO
Mayor: Lyda Krewson (Democrat)
2) New Orleans, LA
Mayor: LaToya Cantrell (Democrat)
3) Chicago, IL
Mayor: Lori Lightfoot (Democrat)
4) Los Angeles, CA
Mayor: Eric Garcetti (Democrat)
5) Albuquerque, NM
Mayor: Tim Keller (Democrat)
6) Oakland, CA
Mayor: Libby Schaaf (Democrat)
7) Chattanooga, TN
Mayor: Andy Berke (Democrat)
8) Baltimore, Maryland
Mayor: Jack Young (Democrat)
9) New York, New York
Mayor: Bill De Blasio (Democrat)
10) Detroit, MI
Mayor: Mike Duggan (Democrat)
In every single case of both the top 10 mid ranged and higher ranged populous cities every single one of them had a Mayor that was a Democrat. I expanded to the top 15 in both sections and, in both cases, the same result. Every… single…. city that ranked in the highest of violent crime, drug busts and sexual trafficking busts were always with a Mayor that was a Democrat, no exceptions.
