Nolan Wins Independence Party Primary in Landslide

Mike Nolan, a former Monroe County Assistant District Attorney who is challenging incumbent Fred Gallina for Pittsford Town Justice, won the Independence Party primary over Gallina last Tuesday by an overwhelming two to one margin, 67% to 33%.

Nolan attributes the victory to hard work in meeting voters and getting his message out - that he has the experience, and commitment to service and independence that people are looking for. He also thinks voters are looking for a choice in Town Government. “One party has controlled Pittsford Government, including the Town Justice position, for decades now. I think voters are looking for alternatives, and when someone with the right credentials comes along to challenge the incumbent, that resonates, especially with independent-minded voters.” He also wanted to thank the Independence Party voters who supported him. "I'm incredibly pleased and honored that so many Independence voters thought I was the right person to carry the mantle of their party," Nolan said.

Former Prosecutor Mike Nolan Seeks Pittsford Town Justice Seat

Mike Nolan, a former Monroe County Assistant District Attorney who helped prosecute numerous felons, including notorious sex offender James Comfort and convicted first degree murderer Angel Mateo, is running for Town Justice in Pittsford. Nolan has been endorsed by the Democratic Party, and received enough support from Independence Party voters to force a primary for that Party’s nomination.

Nolan is emphasizing his experience, independence and service to the community. As an Assistant District Attorney, he prosecuted hundreds of cases in local courts, including Pittsford’s, before being promoted to the Appeals Bureau, where he handled about 60 felony appeals, including almost a dozen homicides, and co-wrote the petition for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court in the Mateo case - Monroe County’s first death penalty case in over 40 years. In addition to his time at the DA’s office, Nolan has spent several years in private practice, and several more in the State Court system, including as law clerk to Judge Richard Wesley at the New York Court of Appeals, the State’s highest court. He is also the only candidate who has handled a case before the State’s highest court, having argued there twice.
