Buffalo is one of the last American cities that has had Democratic elected officials that were significantly conservative on social issues. Former Buffalo Mayor Jimmy Griffin (D) was a pro-life social conservative who was pretty much a Reagan supporter while in office. Former Erie County Executive Dennis Gorski was a pro-life Democrat, and there are others.
Rochester has been a historically Republican city; those sort of voters aren't there as much. Eastman Kodak was a large employer in Rochester, and its employees were quite Republican; as that company declined, so did that portion of Republican voters.
