Lorenzo Williams was a candidate for at-large representative on the Rochester City Board of School Commissioners in New York. Williams ran for the seat in the Democratic primary election on September 10, 2015.[1] He lost the election.[2]
Biography
Williams previously taught in the Rochester City School District.[3]
Elections
2015
Opposition
Four of the seven seats on the Rochester City School District Board of School Commissioners were up for general election on November 3, 2015. A primary election was held on September 10, 2015. The elections were held at large.[4] The seats held by incumbents Willa Powell, Malik Evans, Melisza Campos and Mary Adams were on the ballot.[5] Adams, Evans and Powell won re-election, while Elizabeth Hallmark (D/WF) joined the board. They defeated Matthew McDermott (WF) in the general election.[6]
Campos did not file to run for re-election, ensuring at least one newcomer would join the board. The other three incumbents faced five challengers in the primary election: Howard Eagle, Hallmark, Mia Hodgins, McDermott and Lorenzo Williams. All eight candidates ran as Democrats, which mandated the primary.[1]
There were several cases of cross-filing in this election. In addition to running as Democrats, Adams and Evans filed to run with the Independence Party, and Powell, Hallmark and McDermott additionally ran with the Working Families Party.[1]
Adams, Evans, Powell and Hallmark won the Democratic primary election, allowing them to advance to the general election. Because he cross-filed with the Working Families Party, McDermott also advanced to the general election.[2][7]
The names of candidates who ran with multiple party designations appeared under each party designation on the general election ballot. The votes from each designation were then pooled together to give a candidate's vote total.
