"My decision to resign and take on a new opportunity was not an easy one after nearly two decades as mayor. I have loved serving the people of Buffalo as mayor, but Michelle and I think the time is right to transition to a new role," Brown said recently. "I'm proud of how far we've come since I first took office as mayor."
