Terrence A. Robinson, who is registered as a Democrat, is the Green Party candidate for Buffalo mayor.

He serves on the Buffalo Preservation Board and is a founding member of Preservation Buffalo Niagara.

Even though Byron W. Brown won the primary election last month and seems to be a shoe-in for next month’s general election, 62-year-old Robinson is not deterred.

“I actually think it’s a steep climb, but I actually think that there’s a reasonable possibility that we’ll win,” Robinson said recently in a revealing chat.

He attended Princeton University from 1972 to 1976 and was a classmate of Sonia Sotomayor, he said. Sotomayor became the country’s first Latina Supreme Court Justice.

Political activist, author and university professor Cornel West was a teaching assistant at Princeton when Robinson was a student there, Robinson said.

Buffalo Schools Superintendent Kriner Cash was a freshman at the Ivy League school when Robinson was a sophomore, the candidate said.

Robinson even dated architect H. H. Richardson’s granddaughter and visited the architect’s house in Brookline Massachusetts, he said.
