Your comment is flamebait, but I'll respond anyway.

We can get a sense of where people like to live based on where they are leaving and where they are going. Of the five fastest-growing cities in America by absolute numbers, one is governed by a Democrat, one by an Independent, and three by Republicans:

Of the top 10 fastest-growing states, 7 out of 10 are governed by Republicans:

It's not Republican. In the last presidential election, the county voted 60% Democrat (Pine Bluffs is the largest city and county seat).

The numbers provided by

http://www.whovotesformayor.org/compare

explain why people think progressive mayors are crazy.

A small percentage of mostly older people vote for most mayors.

If more people vote, younger views get represented.

Seems like one of the best things he could do to improve his town, is to encourage people to vote and be represented.

Obvious troll bait here, but can you post this list of the "top 100 cities in America"?

Dunno about "best" cities, but the most dangerous in terms of violent crime have mainly Democratic or nonpartisan mayors by a wide margin:

Edit: I know it breaks etiquette to complain about downvotes, but this comment is not just material fact, it's my everyday lived reality. It's not safe to walk outside at night anymore on my block thanks to underfunded police and permissive progressive judges. I hear gunshots that I never heard before. The open drug use problem's getting worse, and schools have gotten way more dangerous for kids. Someone got stabbed on my street this weekend. The political cause and effect are clear. If that annoys you, bite me.

All cities are predominantly democrat mayors, so if it's the same fraction of "dangerous" cities, then it suggests the mayor isnt the source of the issue.
