What is America's biggest city with a Tea Party mayor?

I initially guessed Omaha, but Albuquerque is bigger.

Some even larger cities do have Republican mayors, but are they really Tea Party?

Mesa, Arizona is the largest totally Republican big city. San diego also has a history of GOP mayors (can't recall the last elected democrat) and Jacksonville is totally GOP too.

Falconer (San Diego) is, surely (and -thankfully) NOT a tea-party Republocan

Arlington, Amarillo, and Plano, Texas are all decent-sized cities with a long Republican history, though I'm not sure if they technically have "tea party" mayors.

Is there an official "Tea Party" designation or is it just the Obama era term for right-wing populist Republican?

It's hard to tell who's "Tea Party" and who's just a generic conservative unless they're writing insane legislation or making frequent national media appearances. Mayors have never been especially partisan, especially for smaller cities that the GOP get elected to.

The term "Tea Party" really needs to go DIAF.

Here in Wichita, a moderate Republican (Jeff Longwell) and a tea-party businessman (Sam Williams) made it out of the primary thanks to abysmal turnout. Longwell mopped up in the general with Democratic support.
