The local elections surrounding the November 4 cycle look to be as important as the statewide elections.
Beyond the key ballot measures, the mayoral elections in some of the United States' most populous cities are something to keep an eye on.
BetOnline.ag has expanded its Mayoral Election offerings to these 15 cities:
Albuquerque, Annapolis, Buffalo, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Jersey City, Miami, Minneapolis, New York City, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Syracuse, Topeka
Some of the cities only have vote share/margin of victory instead of odds for all of the candidates. In these races, at least according to the oddsmakers, the underdog(s) have less than a 1% chance of pulling off an upset.
Other cities such as Atlanta, Boston, St. Paul, Helena and Columbia are handicapped to be so lopsided that oddsmakers didn't want to offer markets for them.
An interesting note for the Cincinnati Mayoral Election...the GOP challenger, Cory Bowman, is JD Vance's half-brother. He's a massive underdog as the favorite (Aftab Pureval) is expected to receive more than 60% of the votes!
