1The Top 5 Dirtiest Cities in America in 2023 Were Run by Democrats
Verdict: True.
LawnStarter ranked 152 of the biggest U.S. cities for its 2023 list of the dirtiest cities in America. The page was updated February 16, 2023. The study scored pollution, living conditions, infrastructure, and consumer satisfaction. It did not score party. The five cities at the top, and the mayors in office that February, were:
- Houston, Texas. Mayor Sylvester Turner, a Democrat.
- Newark, New Jersey. Mayor Ras Baraka, a Democrat.
- San Bernardino, California. Mayor Helen Tran. The office is nonpartisan. Tran is a registered Democrat, and the San Bernardino County Democratic Party endorsed her in 2022.
- Detroit, Michigan. Mayor Mike Duggan, a Democrat.
- Jersey City, New Jersey. Mayor Steven Fulop, a Democrat.
