Primary Day in Buffalo and Erie County offers some interesting contests. The Common Council primaries might produce a shift in control of that legislative body. The County Legislature primaries are in just one district; they are simply a power struggle between the Republicans and Conservatives.
Subject to Board of Elections or court actions, there could be six primaries for the Council seats in June. Only the Delaware District (Councilmember Joel Feroleto); the Niagara District (Councilmember David Rivera); and the South District (Councilmember Christopher Scanlon) have no primaries and no Republican candidates, meaning that those three members are effectively re-elected.
