India Walton; the first woman to serve as mayor of Buffalo, New York

India Walton is poised to become the first woman and first socialist to lead New York’s second-largest city after beating four-term incumbent Byron Brown in Tuesday’s Democratic primary. A nurse and community organizer who runs a Buffalo land trust, she was elected mayor by a comfortable margin. This victory for her will surely leave a mark on other women who consider them less powerful than men.

Before this, Republicans had no choice as to who might be their desired candidate. However, the primary victory made Walton the clear winner of the mayoral race. After she is named, Buffalo

it will become the most prominent American city to have a socialist mayor. The last time Milwaukee had a socialist mayor was in the 1960s.

The results prove that the citizens of Buffalo voted to elect a council whose primary goal is to bring families together. Voters have noticed the rusting bridges and dilapidated parks in their city and are ready for change. Councilwoman Walton has made it her mission to clean up Buffalo and make it a better place to live.

There were no fancy publicity campaigns or media exposure in Walton’s campaign, no multimillion-dollar government backing, and no wealthy sponsors. And yet he won in a landslide, in a system designed to make businesses succeed.

India Walton said. “We are here, we are not going to leave and we will not be silenced.” * “We know what democracy is like. And if not, we come to show it to you every day.”

His victory speech was followed by chants from his supporters “Madam Mayor. Lady Mayor. They are ecstatic about the success of their campaign and for once having a female mayor, and they know that Mrs. Walton will do a great job.
