Tempe, AZ, which is in the Phoenix area, just elected its first black mayor. It's amazing that it beat out cities like Boston, South Bend, and Miami.

But didn't beat Helena, Montana. Smiley

Heh. In any case, there are a multitude of cities that have never elected a black mayor such as Indianapolis, Boston, Pittsburgh, Miami, Tampa, and Forth Worth. The list goes on forever.
Right. In California, there’s Whittier, Diamond Bar, Santa Ana, Westminster, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Irvine, and Huntington Beach; which all have a much larger population than Helena, Montana. Anaheim recently elected its first Asian mayor.

The Orange County cities definitely have a white, Republican feel to them for some reason, despite the diversity there.

As for Anaheim’s mayor, East Indians are only Asian on a technicality. When I think of Asians, I think of the Far East nationalities.
My hometown never elected a black mayor. Most people I know are from cities that never elected a black mayor.Whittier and Diamond Bar are in Los Angeles County. Debbie Cook, former mayor of Huntington Beach, is a Democrat. Costa Mesa mayor Katrina Foley is a Democrat. Not all OC mayors are even Republicans. Interestingly, it was the whiter neighborhoods in Anaheim that got Harry Sidhu elected. The less white neighborhoods voted for a white candidate.

Which city is your hometown? Anaheim?

It is interesting that Harry Sidhu won a good portion of the white vote, but it might have to do with him having an "R" next to his name. Minorities tend to vote for Democratic candidates.

My hometown, Phoenix, is the largest city in the United States that has never had a black mayor.
All municipal elections in California are officially nonpartisan. Sidhu couldn’t run with a party label on the ballot.
