US EditionActing Buffalo Mayor Loses Democratic Primary
- State Senator Sean Ryan secured the Democratic nomination for Buffalo’s mayoral race on Tuesday night, surpassing acting Mayor Chris Scanlon and three additional contenders.
- The primary took place after several months of campaigning, occurring amid anticipation for new city leadership following Byron Brown leaving office the previous year and Ryan receiving the Erie County Democratic Committee's endorsement in February.
- Ryan emphasized addressing Buffalo’s housing crisis by developing 10,000 to 20,000 vacant lots and creating policies to allow homeowners to renovate and add rental units, while calling for improved city services and unity.
- Ryan received 12,249 votes or 46.5%, while Scanlon earned 9,278 votes or 35.3%, and Ryan declared he will be “a mayor for all of Buffalo” who brings people together to fix basic city needs.
- Ryan’s win positions him as the Democratic nominee in the November 4 general election, which the Republican Party did not contest in a primary but endorsed James Gardner; Buffalo prepares for leadership change without Byron Brown’s name on the ballot.
