Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown Calls For Write-In Campaign Following Loss In Democratic Primary
BUFFALO, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- The mayor of Buffalo is calling for a write-in campaign in the November election.
Four-term mayor Byron Brown is seeking re-election, but he did not make the cut in last week's Democratic primary.
Brown's campaign claimed hundreds of people contacted the mayor to ask him to run and they offered financial support.
Brown says he's not giving up and plans to continue his campaign.
"This election isn't over. I'm running as a write-in candidate, and I am running to win this election. I am the person that has served this city in this capacity for 15 years," Brown said.
India Walton won the Democratic primary. If she wins the general election in November, she would become the first female mayor in the city of Buffalo's history.
