Erie County Legislature 8th District: SDWNY would like to congratulate our endorsed candidate Lynn Dearmyer in her primary challenge of Legislator Tom Mazur. Unfortunately, Lynn did not win, but ran a very close, hard fought race which was not determined, officially, until very recently. Lynn lost by 254 votes. City of Buffalo Mayor: It was decided at our last meeting that the club will send a letter of congratulations to Mayor Byron Brown on his primary win, which will state SDWNY’s willingness to work with him in the future and explain why we cannot officially support the Mayor, due to his lack of support for our issues. |
