Go Peggy!

Great to see my old college friend, Margaret Walsh (she was Peggy in college), win her primary election contest yesterday. She'll now represent the Democrats in November in the election for Albany County Family Court Judge. I'm assuming that as a Democrat running for an elected position in Albany Peggy's just about a shoo in now.

In other races, Margaret T. Walsh beat John J. Reilly, 11,408 to 9,738, to secure the Democratic nomination for the Albany County Family Court Judge seat.
Those numbers were based on 99 percent of the countywide results.
Walsh, 39, is a part-time Albany County assistant public defender who also has a private practice.
She has 14 years experience as a family court lawyer and said she is looking to use that knowledge to ensure that at-risk children who enter her courtroom are protected.
"There's been a tremendous momentum that I think reflects people's perception of the political establishment here in Albany, so I'm not surprised (by the victory)," said Walsh. "This is a job I want, not for political reasons, but because it's one I'm qualified for and love."
Reilly was the party's choice for the $119,800-a-year judgeship.
