The issue of school busing roiled politics for years but subsided after the 1990s. While local elections are officially nonpartisan, nearly all of the city's elected officials are publicly known as Democrats. The city is split between 10 state house districts, all but one of which are held by Democrats (Republican Speaker of the House holds the only Republican house seat).
