Atlanta, the names of all candidates shall be listed upon the ballot without party label"). So it's not just the Mayor. Again, interesting, and thanks for bringing it up. However, we all know that most politicians do have a party affiliation, and the party affiliation of the Mayors of Atlanta is interesting. That's what I was looking for when I first came to this page and saw that parties were missing. So I think the Party column adds something.

Well! This would explain why a party affiliation is so hard to find from the historical record (really, there are primary sources from the 1940s where 3 "Democrats" are competing against each other). Perhaps, if it's important to you, we could label the column "usual political affiliation" or

Instead of hardcoding the list here, can we redirect to the Category "Mayors of Atlanta"? That list has all mayors, then we could delete this page. Otherwise I'll need to edit every mayor page's "succession box"
