Silberman had served as First Deputy Clerk to Rockland’s former County Clerk, Paul Piperato since 2006. After Piperato’ s unexpected death in May of this year, the job and responsibility of Acting County Clerk fell to Silberman. “My parents and Paul taught me something especially important – that public service can and should be a noble endeavor and that the single most important accomplishment is to make people’s lives better. They set an example that I strive to meet every day; a high standard of quality public service.” said County Clerk Silberman.

Silberman cited her family – husband Michael, and children Brittny, Joey and his wife Kate, friends and loyal supporters, “Their support made it possible for me to be so successful on Election Day”. She also credited her staff who she described as “incredible, dedicated County Clerk employees who allow me to provide the people the quality services they deserve.”

“On Tuesday, Donna Gorman Silberman took the oath of office and officially became our County Clerk. For the past fourteen years, Donna served as Deputy County Clerk under the late Paul Piperato. Together, they built a legacy of service and became a model across our great state. I’m thrilled Donna is the first woman elected to a county office and know she has the intelligence, skills, and compassion to carry on Paul’s work. The people of Rockland are in good hands and I’m quite sure Paul and Donna’s late father, Ed Gorman, are beaming down with pride. “ said Kristen Zebrowski Stavisky – Chairwoman, Rockland County Democratic Committee
