Splitting it by Democratic/Republican is a bit of a trick because nearly all urban areas are Democratic and nearly all rural areas are Republican. So talking about "Republican run urban areas" is a bit of an inside joke, Republicans can't/don't/won't run an area with any concentration of people.

As someone in a very Democratic run city in a very Republican state, believe me when I say, the Republicans who run this place are absolutely pathologically insane. They have lost their minds and our legislative sessions are mostly full of rank conspiracy theory and foreign agit-prop. What little work the Republicans do here revolves around attacking the successful city to placate the poor rural 52% majority, usually through as much wealth transfers and cancellations of urban development as they can.
