Fall Previous scholarship on American federalism has largely focused on the national government's increasingly conflictual relationship with the states. While some studies have explored the rise of mandates at the state level, there has been comparatively less attention on stateﾖlocal relationships. Using a new survey of mayors, we explore variations in local government attitudes towards their state governments. We find some evidence that, regardless of partisanship, mayors in more conservative states are unhappy about state funding and-especially-regulations. More strikingly, we also uncover a partisan mismatch in which Democratic mayors provide especially negative ratings of their state's funding andﾗeven more stronglyﾗregulations. These findings have important implications for stateﾖlocal relations as cities continue to become more Democratic and Republicans increasingly dominate state-level contests. - Rep Mayors - United States Local government - United States Federalism - United States Federalism Glick, David M.
