“Mayor Byron W. Brown<\/a> has more than a half million dollars in his campaign chest, far ahead of his opponents in the Democratic primary for City Hall’s top job. The three-term incumbent in the last six months raised almost $440,000, four times more than Mark J.F. Schroeder<\/a>, the city comptroller, raised and 70 times as much as Betty Jean Grant<\/a>, an Erie County legislator …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brown’s record on guns has been mixed: poor while in the Senate<\/a>, but he notably did not come out in support of the SAFE Act.<\/p>\n
