The Syracuse Mayoral Race and Its Candidates

Grant Reeher, professor of political science and director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute in the Maxwell School, was interviewed for the Capital News Tonight story “Politics professor: Syracuse mayoral race is special case unto itself” and an article for the Washington Examiner.

In the Capital News Tonight story, Reeher discusses Ben Walsh running as an independent in the Syracuse mayoral race. He says, “Ben Walsh is not just any independent. He is an independent with very high name recognition. It’s a very well-known name. A very respected name. And Ben Walsh, prior to being elected as an independent, was someone who had extensive experience working for city government.”
