When I came to the N&O in 2014, Morrisville had a Republican mayor. That same year nationally, <1/2 of Asian voted backed Democrats according to this

Anyway, just one example of how national politics can affect down-ballot races--not just for things like governor and Congress but maybe even your local city council
