How the state votes as a whole and who the governor is has nothing to do with how a city is run. The nonsense you post knows no bounds.

It is very relevant. Big cities- in fact-all cities, get much of their funding from the state. If the state doesn’t support education, social programs, job creation and rehabilitation programs, the city is powerless to support these things as effectively as they would wish.
Why don’t we take a look at the murder rate by state?

Here we see that 8 of the top 10 STATES by murder rate are deeply red states. I’m sure that you are going to argue those numbers are influenced by the large Democratic cities in those states. My response is there are large cities in blue states. Yet, only two states, Illinois and Maryland make it into the top ten-at eight and nine.
