It's Going to Be a Long Primary Season

Former Syracuse Common Councilor and Assemblyman Joe Nicoletti joined the race for Mayor as expected. He made his announcement earlier today in Eastwood and has already raised over $100,000 for the race. He appears to be the only candidate with a Facebook account and a YouTube page. You can watch his intro video below.

He is the most recent (but certainly not the last) official entry into the race for the nomination of the Democrat Party. An epic primary battle is slowly taking shape that will last through the end of the summer. The primary election takes place on Tuesday, September 8th, only eight weeks before the general election on Tuesday, November 3rd. There are already several Democrats officially in the race, with a few others expected to join. No Republicans have announced their intentions yet.
