Michael Niman Interviewed on WBAI by The Indypendent

In our election night special, we get an on-the-ground report from Buffalo where India Walton, 39-year-old nurse and housing activist, is vying to become the first socialist mayor of a major U.S. city in 60 years. Walton won the Democratic nomination in June in a shocking upset. She is now facing a well-financed write-in challenge from the city’s incumbent mayor who she defeated in the primary. We discuss the India Walton campaign and its impact on Buffalo with Michael Niman, a professor of journalism and media studies at Buffalo State University.
