"In an era of state preemption, mayors across the United States are finding innovative ways to preserve local control, yet these efforts are often inadequate against state policies."
"Despite the constraints posed by state preemption, US mayors play a crucial role as local leaders tasked with addressing urgent issues such as housing and public health."
"The political response to state limitations can be creative, but mayors struggle to enact meaningful change due to the restrictive policies imposed by state governments."
"The most common effect of preemption laws is that they block progressive legislation, limiting cities' abilities to address local needs effectively."
