The local business owner and activist says the city needs to stop looking to other people to save Rochester and start marshaling our resources” to build a stronger city.

White is the third candidate announcing he’s a candidate; Monroe County Legislator and former city police chief James Sheppard is a candidate for the Democratic nomination as is former TV journalist Rachel Barnhart, who also ran last year for NYS Assembly.

The incumbent, Mayor Lovely Warren, has not yet officially announced her bid for re-election.
