Itโ€™s no secret: Buffalo has ๐™ฉ๐™๐™ค๐™ช๐™จ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™๐™จ of vacant lots. And the policy of demolitions has left noticeable scars on many of our neighborhoods. As Mayor, Iโ€™ll work to fill the vacant lots on our side streets with infill housing and work to bring back vibrant main streets.

Iโ€™ve done this work before on the West Side, and Iโ€™ll bring that experience to the rest of the city. Letโ€™s regrow Buffalo into the City of Good Neighborhoods we all deserve. ๐Ÿก ๐Ÿ™๏ธ

On the campaign trail, Iโ€™ve talked a lot about how we need to get #TheBasics right here in Buffalo. One small example? Poorly timed streetlights. ๐Ÿšฆ We need to join other cities by converting to a smart grid so we can reduce accidents, save time, and cut emissions.

Proud to have earned the endorsement of the @nylcv in my campaign for Mayor of Buffalo. As Mayor, Iโ€™ll fight to protect our natural resources, invest in clean, renewable energy, and work alongside other Great Lakes cities to build a greener, more sustainable future. (1/2)

Thanks to @BuffaloRising for the chance to share my vision for a City Hall that works for all of Buffaloโ€™s residents. Folks shouldnโ€™t have to move to the suburbs to get basic government services. (1/2)
