Democratic mayoral candidate Khalid Bey announced endorsements from five of his Common Council colleagues after his independent opponent has racked up other support from the left. 

Two members of Syracuse’s Common Council say the full council will likely pass only a few of the long list of remaining items in Mayor Ben Walsh’s $123 million American Rescue Plan Act spending plan.

Khalid Bey faces Michael Greene in the Syracuse Democratic mayoral primary. Bey points to time on the council and a record of writing bills to help people. He lists jobs, public safety and housing as priorities that he hopes voters align with.

Democrat Michael Greene has more than a dozen policy proposals - police reform, housing, economic development, ways to make city more fair and equitable - that he says distinguish him from mayoral primary opponent Khalid Bey. He shares some of them here (we'll hear from Bey tomorrow).
