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.”

Famous quotes containing the word loss:
“Begin with loss and see
how the world contradicts you,
how the horizon implies that beyond it
the water is not empty
but full of ships
all docking at another island.”
—Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
