They can expect me fighting for the future of the city," Brown said, "and they can expect us really educating people about the many things we were able to accomplish during my tenure as mayor."

Mayor Byron Brown speaks at a news conference at the Statler announcing a write-in campaign to run for re-election as mayor.
Brown, four-term leader of New York's second largest city and former chairman of the Democratic State Committee, must soldier on without Buffalo Democrats that are either tired of his reign or sensing new political currents flowing through the city.
A new and fiery Byron W. Brown sought to revive his failed mayoral campaign Monday with a whole new persona, and former County Executive Joel A. Giambra and Delaware Councilmember Joel P. Feroleto have indicated that they may also join the fray.

"As India herself has described some of the things she would do, people are saying very loudly in every section of the city 'No, I don't support that; I don't want that,'" Brown said.
"I'm prepared to take on the challenges that the majority of Buffalonians are facing, and I'm not going to back down, I'm not going to cower and I'm not ashamed," Walton says.
