Buffalo (NY) Mayor race: “Write-In” leads incumbent Democrat 65-35

The pendulum is swinging back as it always does.

NY Post article on primary win

Don’t know what else turned up about her but apparently the AOC idiots organized for her while the multi-term incumbent ran a quiet race and refused to debate her.

So here is the gist of it- Byron Brown has been the incumbent since 2005. For years no one even bothered running against him because it was a forgone conclusion that he was going to win.

Primary happens in early 2020, less than 20,000 people bothered to vote. Walton wins a surprise victory with 51% of the votes. Buffalo essentially woke up to the fact that there was a strong possibility that they may have a self avowed socialist as mayor, and now Republicans, Independents, and Democrats are teaming together to write in Byron Brown.

Thanks for posting this. I forgot to check back on it. He lost the primary to her and she’s running unopposed now. His whole campaign was a write in campaign and I hoped it would do well. He’s a Dem but not as far left with the progressive agenda. He’s the only barometer there of how happy/unhappy the electorate is there with the progressive agenda.

The race for mayor in Buffalo between India B. Walton, a democratic socialist, and the incumbent, Mayor Byron W. Brown, a Democrat, has become the most closely watched race in the state. Mr. Brown, a former state Democratic Party chairman, lost to Ms. Walton in the primary and is running as a write-in candidate. The Associated Press will tabulate all write-in votes together on election night.
