The incumbent four-term Democratic mayor of Buffalo, Byron Brown, declared a victory Tuesday night in his write-in election campaign against self-proclaimed democratic socialist India Walton.
Brown, 63, lost to Walton in the June Democratic primary before launching a write-in campaign. On Tuesday, he declared a victory over his opponent after local media reported Walton had won 41 percent of the vote while nearly 59 percent of the votes were for “write-in,” according to the Erie County Board of Elections.
