New York State Team
India Walton scored an apparent victory Tuesday over four-term incumbent Byron Brown in a Democratic primary for Buffalo mayor, making her poised to become the first woman and first socialist to lead New York s second-largest city.
Walton, a nurse and community organizer who directed a Buffalo land trust, led Brown by 1,507 votes with all in-person votes counted, a near-insurmountable margin that almost matched the number of absentee ballots left to tally.
With Republicans failing to field a candidate, the primary victory clears the way for Walton to become mayor in the heavily Democratic city of 260,000 people.
