Troy City Court judge race shapes up after primaries


MAIER
Keith Gorman, in his first bid for public office, is in second place by an unofficial count of 31 votes, 678 to 647, over Corporation Counsel Ian Silverman in the Democratic Party primary for two seats on the Troy City Court Judge.
Incumbent Judge Chris Maier finished well ahead of the pack with 1014 votes.
Silverman had the backing of the Democratic Party proper – as did Maier – and late in the campaign Mayor Lou Rosamilia sent a flyer to voters endorsing the city’s top attorney.
GORMAN
Gorman, a long time attorney, however, seemingly came out of nowhere and was staunchly supported by the faction of Democrats headed up by Council President Rodney Wilshire.
How many absentee ballots are out is unclear.
Meanwhile, Republican Jill Kehn and Maier won the Conservative Party primary getting 133 and 110 votes, respectively. Silverman finished a distance third with 44 votes.
KEHN
Maier and Kehn won the Working Families Party primary with 40 and 32 votes, respectively. Gorman finished with 21 and Silverman with 10.
Kehn and Maier won the Independence Party primary with 103 and 90 votes, respectively. Silverman and Gorman finished well back with 44 and 40 votes.
Maier and Kehn also won the Green Party primary with 8 and 5 votes, respectively while Gorman finished with 3 and Silverman with 1.
SILVERMAN
If all things remain constant after the absentees are counted and the results are deemed official, Maier will have the Democratic, Conservative, WFP, and Independence and Green Party lines in November.
Kehn will have the Republican, Conservative, WFP, and Independence and Green Party lines.
Gorman will have the Democratic Party line and Silverman will not be on the ballot.
Here is a link to all unofficial primary results in Rensselaer County.

  1. Malone only lost the Independence line because Tom Connolly was beyond useless to him. Will someone please tell Boy that Ryan's Wake isn't the only place you can get votes for your endorsed candidates?

  2. Anyone hear the Car tires squealing as they left RedRock last night around 10:15 when it was revealed that Silverman would still have his job as Corporation counsel for another two years. Take back troy one wine at a time.

  3. So let me get this straight. Wade's judicial candidate loses. Wade's judicial slate get slapped around. Wade's district attorney loses his bid for the independence line. And in his own district, Wade ties for second behind a do nothing twenty-something year old. And his minions believe he can still run the party! Who is delusional?

  7. When it's this lop-sided, (this round the Dems) it's fun to watch them fragment.

  8. Spin it any way you want. Ken, Rodney and their flock of pavlic, Sansone and Rossitire have made great inroads and Boss Wade better wake up or will lose the party.

    1. They picked up a fraction of what they campaigned for, and they had to campaign hard for what they got. Wade's people didn't have to lift a finger. They don't have anywhere near the numbers to influence anything, and frankly no one will even notice them. But hey, rock on.

    2. Pavlic is with Wade.

    1. Gorman has no chance at all. None.

      Delete
    2. Or just Maier.
      Gorman lied his way to victory. He is not judge material. Silverman is a true gentleman who talked about his qualifications not lying about his opponent. Maybe in this race the good guy didn't win, but Ian will end up OK.

    3. I'm writing in Silverman.

    4. Great idea...me too

    5. Seriously??? Gorman did not lie his way to victory. His opponent on the other hand needs to take a look at how his campaign was run.

    6. Gorman is a liar. He is unethical,and dishonest. He ran a dirty campaign and that shows what kind of man he really is. A man who should never serve as a judge..Go back to your real estate law Keith...You are a disgrace.

    7. Seriously Kathy????? Keith Gorman came to voter's homes and lied to their faces He told my wife and I that he was endorsed by Judge Spain..One problem, I have known Ed Spain for decades and that is an absolute lie..Like someone said,Troy is a small town. You may have been able to lie your way through the primary but it won't work now.

      Delete
    8. Seriously???? Gorman wants to be Judge.. He lied throughout his campaign... And now I hear he is connected to Bob Cox... I will be writing in Silverman in November.

      Delete
  10. Robert Cox is running around town taking full responsibility for Gormans win in the primary. That's enough for me to vote for the republican.

    1. Gorman is the Cox, candidate. A wanna be judge that hitches his wagon to those nuts has no business being a judge. Unbelievable.

    2. So Wiltshire and Doherty were helping Gorman. Interesting. Is Gorman the anti-cop candidiate

    3. Sounds like a few people need to grow up. Some of you may have personally lost your race but a mature person would shake the hand of the winner and say.."Let's work together to help the city". Do you read what you write before posting? It is pretty sad if you do.

  11. Lets not forget Kenny the snake. Sneaking around, stabbing people in the back and then slithering away. He is filled with such hatred for Tom Wade, he has lost any decency he had. I have no respect for him anymore..Slither away serpent head.
