Despite phony mailer, Timilty wins

Kelly Timilty held on to her 2nd District Governor's Council seat Tuesday, despite news breaking late in the day that her campaign distributed a flyer featuring a forged endorsement from Gov. Deval Patrick.

Timilty, a Dedham Democrat, held off primary challenger Robert Jubinville, of Milton, by 32 percent. The final tally showed Timilty receiving 66 percent of the vote and Jubinville earning 34 percent.

The results indicate that news of Timilty mailer likely played little if any role in the results. Patrick's (D-Milton) political committee has said that it is looking into the "legal implications" of Timilty's forging the endorsement and Patrick's signature.
