All three candidates for the race were registered as Democrats. India Walton, a nurse, community activist and self-declared Democratic Socialist, recently managed to topple the reign of four-term incumbent Byron Brown, setting the stage for her to become the first socialist mayor of a major city in over 60 years.

Lindsay DeDario / Reuters Updated June 23, 2021 at 1:35 PM ET Buffalo, N.Y., appears on course soon to have its first socialist mayor after India Walton took the lead over incumbent Mayor Byron Brown in Tuesday s Democratic primary election. Walton, a progressive candidate endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, would also be the first female mayor of New York s second-largest city if she wins the general election in November. Walton, 38, had a seven-point lead over Brown with all in-person votes counted. The Associated Press called the race for Walton on Wednesday morning, but Brown did not immediately concede, suggesting he would wait for the rest of the votes to be tallied, according to Spectrum News reporter Ryan Whalen.
