When you get a chance - look up the safest METRO cities in America (because if you just look up safest cities, you'll get a list of tiny towns that really isn't what you're looking for).
Check out who's mayor - and get back to me.
DITTO the WORST in America - do the same.
The safest ones are MOSTLY run by Republicans - Tampa and Honolulu are exceptions - -
But ALL of the worst ones are run by Democrats - some of them, for a long time.
Grant you - most large metropolitan areas are run by Democrats - you'll find the largest cities ALL are -
But I find it interesting that large cities run by Republicans are low in crime.
