"During the Trump administration, cities were largely ignored, during the Biden administration, we have enjoyed a good relationship and we have seen record investment in our communities and we are seeing economic prosperity as a result of that," he elaborated. ...

"... Again, we would go back to being largely ignored and really, even more than that, the subject of hostile attacks from the federal government. And so I thought in the best interest of my city it was important that I speak up; silence in this situation was not an option."

Agree with you, but "duty to party" shouldn't exist and it's sad that it does.

Especially considering his position is a municipal one, not State or Federal one...
