HUDSON (N.Y.) � Tonight, voters strongly supported the endorsements made by the Hudson Democratic Committee last spring, as Robert O�Brien led the race for the party�s nomination for Council President in a primary forced by fellow Alderman Colum Riley, and �Bottom Line� candidates retained a solid majority on the Hudson Democratic Committee.

Results made available around 9:30 pm showed O�Brien besting Riley by a large margin, 238-198.

Quintin Cross and Abdus Miah captured both the 2nd Ward alderman nominations and the Democratic Committee seats for the 2nd Ward. Joe Finn, Ellen Thurston and Rainer Judd won the Democratic nominations for Supervisor and Alderman in the 3rd Ward. In the 5th Ward,

Meanwhile, an aggressive effort mounted by Mayor Richard Scalera to re-take control of the City Democratic Committee failed, as candidates running with the support of current chair Linda Mussmann maintained a solid majority on the Committee. Sam Pratt and Ruth Moser won in the 1st Ward; Cross and Miah in the 2nd Ward; Bob Mechling, Daniel Karpowitz, Jim Svetz and Christopher Haun in the 3rd Ward; Claudia Bruce and Hannah Jarrell in the 4th Ward; and Peter Jung in the 5th Ward.

Mayor Scalera lost his race to remain on the Democratic Commiteee.

74 absentee ballots have been filed by Democratic voters citywide, but the results of the absentee count are not expected to significantly alter the overall results. In past election cycles, absentee balloting in Hudson has tended to mirror the regular vote tally.
