What do you mean? For anyone here, it would be very difficult to win.
City council elections usually don't have many votes. A place like St. Paul is probably a lost cause, to be fair though. In other cities and towns, it would probably make more sense. Some of these elections only have a couple thousand votes to the winner.
The problem I've noticed in municipal elections is that the incumbent advantage is insane.
There's only ever any turnover if someone quits.
And their replacements somehow are immediately worse than the incumbents.
The best time to do it is when there is some sort of scandal, especially one that will favor the right like people getting mad at crime.
Hard for scandals to break when the local media is so pozzed.
There's hardly any local coverage to begin with.
