Which political party has the most mayors? Despite Republican strength in state legislatures, I'd have to guess the Democrats have more mayors, since the GOP is really a rural rump party, and more GOP supporters live in unincorporated areas.

I'd certainly guess that more people live in places with Democratic mayors, since Democrats are stronger in bigger cities. I'd bet that even in northern Kentucky, more people have a Democratic mayor.

It probably depends a lot on whether you count cities with non-partisan mayors. In those cities, I'd say that "Republicans" have an advantage, but I doubt there's any data on that. In cities with partisan mayors, I'm guessing there's more Democrats.

I think now it's probably the opposite. Starting last year, I noticed Republicans were much more likely to win when it's a partisan election.

In Kentucky, cities #1 and #2 have Democratic mayors.  I'm pretty sure #5 and #8 are Democratic, and #6 is Republican. I have no clue about the other cities in the top 10.
