BUFFALO, N.Y. A new campaign finance disclosure for Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown shows a thinning number of large donations after his shocking defeat on primary night.
The report released Saturday shows that after the June 22 primary, Brown s campaign has only received four donations of $1,000. Before his loss, he had nearly two dozen donations of at least $5,000.
Post-primary hundreds of other smaller donors have contributed amounts as low as $3. A comparison of donations made before primary night showed that Brown s campaign pulled in only 10% of what it did prior to June 22.

BUFFALO, N.Y. Friday marked the first campaign filings since democratic socialist India Walton s primary upset over incumbent Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown.
The period spanning from June 7 to July 11 shows both candidates plan to raise and spend a significant amount of money through November as Brown continues to challenge Walton with a write-in campaign. It s going to be a very interesting year and we re going to see a lot of things that we don t normally see in elections, political analyst Jeff Williams said.
Walton raised nearly $200,000 this period, spent about $80,000 and has roughly $150,000 remaining. The candidate had hundreds of individual contributions with 205 coming from voters in the city of Buffalo.
