Chol Majok, a member of the Syracuse Common Council, has officially entered the race to become the next mayor of Syracuse, New York. Majok announced his candidacy over the weekend, emphasizing his focus on critical issues such as housing, infrastructure, and neighborhood safety.
Majok joins a growing list of candidates vying for the mayoral position. Among the contenders are Deputy Mayor Sharon Owens and fellow Common Councilor Pat Hogan. The current mayor, Ben Walsh, is unable to run for re-election due to term limits.
The race is expected to be competitive, with each candidate bringing their unique perspectives and priorities to the forefront. Majok's campaign will likely highlight his experience on the Common Council and his commitment to addressing the pressing needs of Syracuse residents.
As the election approaches, voters will have the opportunity to hear from each candidate and decide who they believe will best lead the city in the coming years.
