I think they are referring to that there are primaries for mayor. In my town people just run for mayor, like there is only one election and then maybe a runoff. You know what party they represent but they are technically not allowed to run on a party ticket. The end result of this is that in the most recent election, in a red state and red county, the runoff was between a liberal and a centrist and the liberal won.
It’s new york. It’s a city so prestigious that being the former governor of the right party doesn’t guarantee you’ll win. Partyless elections are usually for low prestige roles
No they are not, not officially anyways. There is plenty of crossover, where someone who is officially part of a federal or provincial party will run for mayor, but those parties aren’t involved and they have to step down from those roles to run.
I just didn’t know America’s 2 party system went all the way down to municipal. That’s fuxked.
Your local school board candidates are affiliated with a political party
Those random elections for some hospital position or something to do with a college have candidates affiliated with political parties.
The two party system is just a stupid way for people to show up, vote for a team, and go home. Its wild
