Here are the top 10 large U.S. cities with the highest crime rates. Three of these cities also have the highest rates of poverty. I have listed the current mayor, his/her political party and the year of the last Republican mayor.
Detroit — Mike Duggan, Democrat, 1962
St. Louis — Lyda Krewson, Democrat, 1948
Oakland — Libby Schaaf, Democrat, 1965
Memphis — Jim Strickland, Democrat, no GOP mayor listed
Birmingham, Alabama — Randall Woodfin, Democrat, no GOP mayor listed
Atlanta — Keisha Lance Bottoms, Democrat, 1879
Baltimore — Catherine E. Pugh, 1967
Stockton, California — Michael Tubb, Democrat, no GOP mayor listed
Cleveland, Ohio — Frank George Jackson, Democrat, no GOP mayor listed
Chicago — Rahm Emanuel, Democrat, 1931
Are you noticing a pattern here? Yes, all of these major cities have been controlled by Democratic mayors for 40-plus years. The Democrats promise the world during their campaigns but fail to ever perform once they are in office.
The Democrats don’t want the minorities or the poor to better themselves. They want them to remain dependent upon Democratic handouts. Why do you think the Democrats want open borders? The more illegals that enter our country, the more potential voters the Democrats can have under their control. I find it repugnant that the Democrats are willing to destroy our country just so they can get into power.
A vote for Carolyn Long could put the Democrats in control of Congress.
Vote for Jaime Herrera Beutler. We need to maintain control of the House and Senate so we can continue the prosperity we are currently experiencing. We are enjoying the lowest unemployment in 20-plus years, rising wages, lower taxes. Let’s keep it going!
