One of the candidates in the Troy mayoral election has received a major endorsement.
Democrat Patrick Madden now has the endorsement of United States Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in his efforts to become the next mayor. According to a release issued by Madden's campaign, Gillibrand, who makes her home in Rensselaer County, bases her support for Madden on his decades of community development work within the Collar City and his vision for its future.
Voters next week may choose between Madden and Rodney Wiltshire, a Democrat running on the Working Families Party line, Republican Jim Gordon, and Jack Cox on the Revolution Party line.
