Buffalo’s mayor won’t be on Cuomo ticket

Robert J. McCarthy

Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown has withdrawn from consideration as a candidate for lieutenant governor this year, according to a source close to the situation.

The source, who asked not to be identified, said the mayor spoke with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Tuesday evening to request that he no longer be considered.

“He talked to the governor and asked that his name be withdrawn,” the source said.

Cuomo is expected to announce his choice this afternoon at the State Democratic Convention in Melville, Suffolk County.
