Buffalo NY Race heats up!! Mayor Byron Brown vs India Walton




Here's the issue:
Sept 3, 2021
Brown’s main argument for getting on the ballot past the independent nominating petition deadline stems from the fact the state Legislature moved up the deadline this year to no later than 23 weeks before the general election. It was previously only 11 weeks before. The filing deadline was moved up because the primary was moved up from September to June.

Judge Sinatra, during a hearing Friday, called the earlier deadline a burden.

Brown, the incumbant Mayor of Buffalo will now run as an Independant Write In.

He leads in polling over the D on the ballot, India Walton.

I wish him well!!
