#FridayFact Answer

In this week’s mayoral election in Albuquerque, Democrat Tim Keller defeated Republican Albuquerque City Councilman Dan Lewis in the runoff election for mayor of Albuquerque. Keller will replace outgoing Mayor Richard Berry, who is a Republican.

This week's #FridayFact asked: How many mayors in the 100 most populous U.S. cities are currently Republicans? You chose from the following responses:

• 29
• 39
• 49
• 59

The correct answer was 29. In 2017 elections, Republicans retained their existing seats and picked up the mayorship of El Paso to bring their total from 28 to 29. When Keller takes over the Albuquerque mayorship from Berry, that number will drop back down to 28.
