Loss in 2011 Run-off
In 2008, Illinois State Senator Ira Silverstein ousted Stone as 50th ward committeeman. In a five-way race for Alderman in February, 2011, no candidate garnered 50% plus one of the vote, forcing a run-off in April, 2011. Silverstein's wife, Certified Public Accountant Debra Silverstein defeated Stone in a run-off with 62% of the vote to 38% for Stone. On election night Stone said Silverstein will be “a disaster for this ward. There’s no way I’ll help her. She knows nothing.”
