City Councilman Malik Evans won a convincing primary election victory Tuesday over two-term incumbent Mayor Lovely Warren.
Unofficial results had Evans with more than 65% of the vote with two districts yet to report. The primary effectively decides the race. Warren will not be on the ballot in November. And the city tilts heavily Democratic.
“This is some party,” Evans said, speaking to supporters shortly before 10:30 p.m. “Tonight is the true beginning of our journey together to put Rochester in the upper echelon of U.S. cities, where it belongs.”
But the June primary means Warren has another six months in what now is a lame duck administration with a full agenda from policing to housing to exploring some form of universal basic income. Evans will remain in his role as Finance Committee chairman on City Council.
