Byron Brown used a stamp to "write down" his name Saturday afternoon, as he's hoping other voters will do Nov. 2 in the general election in his bid to beat India Walton, who won the Democratic nomination in June in a stunning defeat of the four-time incumbent.
With one of the nation's most watched local elections less than two weeks away, on the day before early voting was set to begin, the two people who want to lead Buffalo as the city's mayor for the next four years continued to highlight their differences and gather support they hope will carry them to victory.
The Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency has also sold property or awarded exclusive development rights to campaign contributors without public bidding, though the Brown administration says campaign cash has nothing to do with getting city contracts.
