Syracuse hasn’t elected a Republican for mayor since the late 1990s. In the 21st century, current independent Mayor Ben Walsh is the only non-Democrat to be elected to the job. His deputy mayor, Democrat and Working Families Party candidate Sharon Owens, is on the ballot to take his place.⁠ ⁠ Her fundraising dwarfs her opponents’ — and Syracuse’s 39,000 registered Democrats exceed the 21,000 voters not enrolled in a party and the 13% of residents registered Republicans.⁠ ⁠ To win City Hall on Nov. 4, Owens will have to beat her three opponents: one Republican, two independents. All three say the city is moving in the wrong direction, and their hypothetical administrations could turn it around. Swipe to learn about them.⁠ ⁠ Photographs by @Lj.Lenns. Design by @sophiaa.burke.
