Write-ins against Spellane

Updated at 5:14

Hot off yesterday’s Telegram article about Bob Spellane that revealed a) Some favorable mortgage conditions; b)his ongoing divorce; c)his relationship with former Channel3 news reporter Brianne Mallaghan; and d)the job he may or may not have helped Mallaghan get (among other things), it seems EVERYONE is trying to run a quick write-in campaign against Spellane. There’s been a flurry of activity this

So far, the only candidate who seems “officially” ready to announce is Worcester Police Lt. William Trotta.

Trotta, who is set to announce in tomorrow’s Telegram, is preparing a letter to send to 13th District constituents that will include yesterday’s article and instructions on how to sticker vote/write in his name.

“A crisis exists in the 13th District,” he writes, “Help to stop it now.”

Trotta, who writes he has been contemplating a run for “some time now,” says in the letter, “I feel now is the time to act.”

UPDATE: Former City Council candidate John Mahoney has just announced his candidacy on the Jordan Levy Show. It’s not about Spellane’s personal life, Mahoney says, but about his continuing pattern of conflicts of interest.
