While not a sweeping wave, elections across the country showed national politics and policy influencing local outcomes, including in New York state.
Nationally, Democrats notched several high-profile wins, including Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey’s gubernatorial race, Abigail Spanberger in Virginia’s gubernatorial race, and California voters’ approval of a redistricting ballot measure that could yield up to five additional Democratic congressional seats.
Across New York state, CSEA-endorsed candidates performed well, with several notable victories:
Long Island Region 1: In Nassau County, all three endorsed town supervisors, John Ferretti, Jen DeSena, and Joe Saladino, along with endorsed Mayor of Glen Cove, Pam Panzenbeck, were all re-elected.
Metropolitan Region 2: CSEA-endorsed candidates Mark Levine and Brad Hoylman-Sigal won their elections for NYC Comptroller and Manhattan Burrough President, respectively.
Southern Region 3: All three endorsed County Executive candidates, Ken Jenkins (Westchester), Ed Day (Rockland) and Steve Neuhaus (Orange), won their elections.
Capital Region 4: CSEA-endorsed candidate Michael Cashman was elected in the Special Election for Assembly District 115.
Central Region 5: All of CSEA’s endorsed candidates for Onondaga County Legislature were successful.
Western Region 6: CSEA-endorsed candidate Jeff McCann, who served as Deputy County Executive to Monroe County Executive Adam Bello, won his election for Greece Town Supervisor.
