SCHENECTADY COUNTY
Five Democrats have eye on Family Court seat
BY MICHAEL LAMENDOLA Gazette Reporter

    Five local attorneys, all Democrats, have expressed interest in running for Family Court judge in Schenectady County.
    Judge Jo Anne Assini, a Democrat, announced in February that she would not seek election to a second 10-year term in November.
    Interested candidates include First Deputy County Attorney Kevin Burke, City Court Judge Christine Clark, private practice attorney John Della Ratta, Deputy County Attorney Fred Goodman and Bruce Trachtenberg, a deputy conflict defender for the county.
    All acknowledged interest in the judgeship through a phone interview with The Daily Gazette, a letter of interest to the Schenectady County Democratic Committee or both.
    The executive committee of the county Democratic Party will interview candidates before the end of this month, said Chairman Brian Quail. The executive committee may or may not issue an endorsement, he said. .........>>>>.........................>>>>.................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r00902&AppName=1

They all feel the need to mother and father???

While 5 DEMS are running for Family Court Judge the REPS are without a single candidate?

     The DEM primary is shaping up like this; Mr. Goodman is the DEM machine candidate, Trachtenburg is the former Nisky Town Justice. This splits the vote opening the door for brilliant Christine Clark or John Della Ratta. Whoever wins the DEM primary will be the strong favorite for this judgeship.
