Haven’t posted about the Buffalo mayor stuff in a few days but Rasheed Wyatt doesn’t move the needle for me other than crowding the ever-growing field. Don’t see a path for him to win unless it’s a total shitshow

Scanlon is forgiving the loan after having the city pull the plug on Braymiller’s, which could be viewed as a sign of fiscal responsibility after years of recklessness. He won’t have a single opponent anyways but I disagree with your take regardless

The HEARTS Act has passed the Senate & moves on to the President. “I just have to give Damar (Hamlin) tremendous credit,” Senator Schumer told @buffalonews.bsky.social. “He never gave up, & he said he wanted to turn his personal tragedy into a mission to save others” buffalonews.com/sports/bills...

Garnell Whitfield spoke to his experience as an administrator handling multi-million dollar budgets. He was less concrete on what he *would* do and more trying to build the case for his bona fides as a leader

Riyath Mallahi @classicmixup.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Scanlon was also cagey if he would still run if he didn’t get the EC Dems endorsement. I would expect that he runs a competitive primary either way

Riyath Mallahi @classicmixup.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

It’s not surprising to see Braymiller’s closing announced today in light of Scanlon’s comments. Between overhaul of staff & budget cuts it’s clear he wants to be seen as a reformer. He could also look like the executioner. Either way he’s in a tough position as acting mayor

Riyath Mallahi @classicmixup.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Internet was not great in the convention center so no live posting. My bad. Some takeaways though: -Sean Ryan has a large war chest ($500k) and is ready for the race -Everyone spoke about the budget but Chris Scanlon said the city has to get its house in order before looking for more funding

Riyath Mallahi @classicmixup.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Whitfield’s candidacy will be interesting. His tack is that Buffalo doesn’t need another politician, it needs an administrator. That message will play very well in this race The political part still matters tho. It remains to be seen if he can assemble enough of a coalition & cash to be viable

It’s easy to beat up on the Dems (and I’ve done so plenty in the past). But I don’t hear any of the delusion in the Harris ‘24 post-mortems that I heard from Clinton ‘16. It’s a pretty honest recap

Riyath Mallahi @classicmixup.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

I’m listening to the @podsaveamerica.bsky.social interview with Harris’ campaign staff. A couple things jump out: -There wasn’t enough time on the clock for a pres campaign -They view the anti-trans ads as not being effective on their own merits but more about economic mismanagement (correct, imo)

Jayapal & Markey introduced trans rights resolutions in 2023 in the House & Senate, respectively. Biden prohibited fed funded insurers from discriminating against trans ppl More needs to be done (especially in the current climate) but most Dems I’ve seen haven’t backed away from these positions

Riyath Mallahi @classicmixup.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

For sure, and it’s valid criticism from that community. But I don’t think McBride’s opinion equals the Dem opinion at large. Most of the libs/whoever I have come across are pretty stridently in favor of trans rights

100

Riyath Mallahi @classicmixup.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

I think it’s important context that the person most prominently saying that is trans herself and is trying to make the GOP look insanely bigoted for discriminating against her. Most other Dems/libs I’ve seen have been pretty vocal defending trans people & rights

Scanlon is shows hand early with his campaign strategy—“I want to be bold & different but the Council is holding me back” He knows there is zero chance in hell most (if any) of this gets approved but he does get to say he tried right away to make City Hall run differently from Byron Brown’s tenure

It’s interesting to compare this to the anti-Iraq War movement, where the energy was devoted intra-party to hold the Dems accountable. The Gaza movement meanwhile has purposefully existed outside the Dem party structure. That may change but it makes sense why it has little purchase right now

They’re kind of like The Simpsons for me. All-time great stuff in the 90s & early 2000s followed by many years of mediocrity or outright lousiness. But the highs are so good they are worth often revisiting

Context: South Buffalo turnout was vital to Byron Brown’s 2021 write-in general campaign after he lost to India Walton in the Dem mayoral primary. It’s hard to imagine SB doesn’t rally hard around native son Scanlon. If the ‘25 Dem primary is a larger field he could have a big advantage

Scanlon is unelected and has faced few tests. He’s going into a what should be a pretty fierce election year. But it would be foolish to underestimate South Buffalo having their first mayor since Jimmy Griffin
