Troy

Mayor Patrick Madden claimed the Democratic party line in the November election with a 200-vote victory over City Council President Rodney Wiltshire.

It was their second mayoral primary in four years and was marked by door-to-door efforts to win over a majority of the city's 9,442 enrolled Democrats.

Madden, 64, entered office in 2016 and has made the fiscal health of the city a priority, he says.

During the campaign Wiltshire, 44, said the city lacks leadership. He seeks the end of the trash fee, which he's called a tax.

Other issues included revitalization, neighborhood renaissance and tax base expansion. Wiltshire and Thomas Reale faced off in the Independence Party primary for mayor. Those results were unavailable.
