When Janet Burman launched her campaign to be the next mayor of Syracuse, she had one priority in mind: public safety. As the mayoral race has progressed, she said everyone’s finally getting on board.

There’s a three-way race for mayor of Syracuse this year. Incumbent mayor Ben Walsh is again running as an independent candidate. Challenging him are Democrat Khalid Bey, and Republican Janet Burman.

In his first term, Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh has had to address the city’s finances, deal with a pandemic, rising violent crime and implement police reform. As he runs for a second term this year, Walsh’s message is focusing on what he's done over the past four years, while recognizing there’s still more to do.

During a visit to Syracuse, Gov. Kathy Hochul rallied Onondaga County Democrats, and endorsed Khalid Bey for Syracuse mayor.
