Dear John,

What a Difference a Mayor Makes!
[[link removed]]
As reported, In America’s largest 100 cities, 64 are Democrats, 24
are Republicans, 4 are Independents and 6 are non-partisan.

Here’s some good news and encouragement to fight with us for our
cities!

 

GOOD NEWS: DALLAS MAYOR ADMITS HE’S REPUBLICAN

Nate Jackson | Patriot Post | 9/25/2023

THE FORMER DEMOCRAT SAYS THE POLICIES THAT CAUSE CITIES TO FLOURISH
ARE NOT COMING FROM HIS OLD PARTY.

Dallas, Texas, is fortunate. The city has elected Republican mayors as
recently as 2007 and 1991, and it now has a Republican mayor again
after Eric Johnson announced that he’s switching parties from
Democrat to Republican. _It’s now the largest city in the nation
with a Republican mayor._

This switch is noteworthy partly because Johnson is black, and partly
because of his explanation for doing so. To mark the change, he wrote
an op-ed
[[link removed]] in
The Wall Street Journal laying out his rationale. It boils down to
economics and public safety.

Saying his priority over his more than four years has been “to make
the city safer, stronger and more vibrant,” he implied that his
policies were already more Republican than Democrat. Being family
friendly, welcoming to businesses, and supportive of police is not
exactly the Democrat Party line these days.

As for the last part, crime has been a huge and growing problem in
many major American cities. Johnson addressed that head on: “Alone
among America’s 10 most populous cities, Dallas has brought violent
crime down in every major category, including murder, year-over-year
for the past two years.” He did that by opposing the “defund the
police” movement — a mind-numbingly foolish movement in a city
where five cops were murdered in a high-profile case
[[link removed]] back
in 2016.

“THE FUTURE OF AMERICA’S GREAT URBAN CENTERS,” wrote Johnson,
“DEPENDS ON THE WILLINGNESS OF THE NATION’S MAYORS TO CHAMPION LAW
AND ORDER AND PRACTICE FISCAL CONSERVATISM.” Republicans are simply
better at this, he said, adding, “AMERICAN CITIES NEED REPUBLICANS
— AND REPUBLICANS NEED AMERICAN CITIES.”

Why is that? THE PORTION OF AMERICANS LIVING IN URBAN AREAS HAS
EXPLODED, going from 20% just prior to the War Between the States to
40% at the turn of the 20th century _to nearly 80% today_.

He sounded downright Reaganesque when he wrote: “WITH MY CHANGE IN
PARTY AFFILIATION, I RECOGNIZE THAT THE NUMBER OF REPUBLICAN MAYORS
LEADING THE NATION’S 10 LARGEST CITIES HAS INCREASED FROM ZERO TO
ONE. THIS IS HARDLY A RED WAVE. BUT IT IS CLEAR THAT THE NATION AND
ITS CITIES HAVE REACHED A TIME FOR CHOOSING.”

Indeed they have. Dallas is the nation’s ninth most populous, behind
the other Texas cities of Houston and San Antonio. Only neighboring
Fort Worth has a Republican mayor.

In fact, of America’s top 20 most populous cities, Dallas and Fort
Worth are the only two with GOP mayors. Of the top 40 cities, only
seven are led by Republicans. Los Angeles, the second-biggest city,
has had one Republican mayor since 1961. Chicago, the third biggest,
hasn’t had one since 1931. Similar trends abound nationwide,
especially in the cities with the worst crime — Baltimore (1967),
St. Louis (1949), Detroit (1962). You get the idea.

Nevertheless, Joel Abbott at Not the Bee jokes
[[link removed]],
“A black leader switching to the Republicans is like a Muslim
becoming Christian in Pakistan: There’s zero worldly profit and a
whole lot of persecution in store.” Indeed, there may be no more
persecuted or hated minority than a black conservative.

Here’s hoping that more mayors, city council members, state
legislators, and many others of whatever color begin to realize that
Democrats are leading our cities, states, and the nation itself down a
very dark road. Crime is suffocating our cities. Radical leftism is
destroying our schools. Spendthrift waste is driving our nation to
bankruptcy.

That will continue unless more voters and leaders TAKE THE RED PILL

REMEMBER-OUR STATES AND NATION ARE BEING RUN BY ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO
HAVE THE BACKING OF LESS THAN ONE THIRD OF THE POPULATION.

WORSE YET, ONLY 3-7% OF VOTERS CAST A VOTE FOR A CITY MAYOR AND OTHER
IMPORTANT LOCAL OFFICES NATIONWIDE!
