I think they are referring to that there are primaries for mayor. In my town people just run for mayor, like there is only one election and then maybe a runoff. You know what party they represent but they are technically not allowed to run on a party ticket. The end result of this is that in the most recent election, in a red state and red county, the runoff was between a liberal and a centrist and the liberal won.

It's new york. It's a city so prestigious that being the former governor of the right party doesn't guarantee you'll win. Partyless elections are usually for low prestige roles
