In a surprise move, Walton beat out incumbent Mayor Byron Brown for the Democratic nomination
But Brown isn’t out of the running.
He decided to defy the party and is running today as a write in candidate.
Voters will also cast ballots today for Erie County legislators, the county sheriff and comptroller as well as a justice of the Supreme Court.
