He was elected as an independent to one term (1979-1980) in the Maine Senate, representing a portion of Washington County. He was the first independent State Senator in over 100 years.^[1]

In 1980, Silverman sought the Democratic Party's nomination for Maine's 2nd congressional district. He kicked off his campaign in Lewiston, Maine's Carpenters Union Hall in March 1980.^[2] He eventually won the nomination but was defeated by incumbent Republican Olympia Snowe. He earned 21.49% of the vote.

Silverman traveled to Israel each year to work on a kibbutz.^[1]
