The deputy mayor of Syracuse is running for the city's top office.

Democratic Deputy Mayor Sharon Owens is planning to formally announce her run Monday, according to her campaign.

This comes about month after Owens first announced she was setting up an exploratory committee.

It also comes just days after Jimmy Oliver, a fellow Democrat, filed papers with the state board of elections to run as well. Oliver is the community engagement director for the Syracuse Police Department.

Incumbent Mayor Ben Walsh, an independent, is term-limited and cannot run again next year.
