Roach Wins Special Election For White Plains Mayor

ImageActing White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach cruised to an easy victory tonight defeating Republican Bob Hyland and Independent Party candidate Glenn Hockley to serve out the remainder of Adam Bradley's term.

Bradley stepped down last month following his December conviction on domestic abuse charges.

With 100% of the vote in, Roach had 4,482 votes, or 52% of the vote to Bob Hyland's 2,442 or 28%. Independence Party candidate and former City Councilman Glenn Hockley had 1,150 votes.

208 absentee ballots were cast.

Roach will serve out the remainder of Bradley's term until 2013.

The former City Council President ran unsuccessfully for State Assembly against Robert Castelli and lost by just 111 votes.
