And then there were 29 (UPDATED: And it's back to 30)


It appears the Republicans do have a candidate to run in the heavily Democratic District 4. Joe Navarra will run against incumbent Bob Doherty (of the Wiltshire camp) and Barbara Jones Higbee (of the Wade camp.) So the number of candidates is back up to 30.

The astounding number of candidates, 30, running for a limited number of open seats in Troy, 10, has shrunk by one.
Pamela Troue, who was running in District 2 with what is commonly known as the “Wade Democrats,” or the slate headed up by mayoral candidate Patrick Madden and supported by Rensselaer County Chairman Tom Wade, has opted to drop out.
That leaves incumbent Councilwoman Anastasia Robertson, who is solidly with the “Wiltshire Democrats,” or the slate headed up by mayoral candidate and council President Rodney Wiltshire, to square off against Mark McGrath, who is running with the Republicans for the seat he was term limited out of about 18 months ago.
Troue is caring for her ailing mother and said a run for council is too much of a commitment at this point in time.
With petitions due no later than July 9, here is a list of candidates and their respective teams. That list could change dramatically depending on whether or not the candidates get enough signatures to get on the ballot.

  1. I see the Republicans don't have a candidate in District 4. Paul Moses lives in district 4. Why not him ?

  2. Russo is having problems with petitions and Scott Ryan is making a big push on the petitions. Looks like he will have more names than Russo. Now Russo and Merola are going to get dirty

    Pat,

    Will you retain Bill Dunne as Planning Commissioner? If so, who will be responsible on the installments for my civil award?

    1. Really? A civil suit against Dunne and no press coverage? Try again. Sound like a McCashen wet dream!

      Bill. Your propensity to write in a rhetorical style gives you away. Of course there was no press coverage -- that is why my Daddy took the case civil. Given the photos of little willy that you texted to me, we had a criminal case. But, who needs all the attention when we could get you to cough up some cash.

    Have you reviewed the Bill Dunne Dormitory Authority settlement agreement? It is in the office of the Corporation Counsel as well as within the offices of several other persons in the Executive Suite. What is your policy with regard to serial predators?
