Year-in-Review: The 2020 List of the 10 Worst Mayors in the Nation

  Jennifer Oliver O'Connell

"As one of our RedState diarists Dana Pico mused,

“There are times that I wonder if today’s Democrats see George Orwell’s 1984 not as a warning but a model of good government.”

Above: ...6. Jacob Frey (Minneapolis)  Now to the frozen tundra of the Upper Midwest. Had it not been for the death of George Floyd, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey could have fallen into woke obscurity as another pajama boy running a major city into the ground. ....

"In celebration of a 2020 that desperately needs to come to an end, here is a list of the Top 10 Worst Mayors in the nation. These mayors most definitely use Orwell’s 1984 as their policies and procedures manual, if not their Bible.

"It comes as no surprise that all 10 of the mayors on the list are Democrat (something about that political party), and that five of the 10 are mayors of West Coast cities (something about the Pacific Ocean).

"Several of the mayors have overseen a mass exodus of people from their cities, and even their state in a 10-month period. But most of all, every one of these mayors stand out as abject failures of governance, with constituents that literally despise them.

 "Without further adieu, here is the Top 10 Worst Mayor’s list for 2020: . . ."

No need to read all the way through; the top four are precisely who you expected. Of course, former Mayor Pothole Pete is no longer ruling over South Bend, Indiana, so he is not on this list. TD
