Stephanie Miner was elected as the first woman mayor of Syracuse today.
Albany Mayor Gerald Jennings easily won a fifth term.
Byron Brown of Buffalo and Robert Duffy of Rochester won even more easily. They were unopposed.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
