Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick retains seat as State Senator By STAFF REPORT Re publican Anthony D’Esposito lost his seat in Congress to Democratic challenger Laura Gillen in a closely watched race. “The coordinated campaign that we put together, we knocked on 300,000 doors, we made over 600,00 phone calls, and we put together a campaign that was a winning game that we will emulate in the years to come,” Gillen said. Gillen, a former Hempstead Town Supervisor, ran on promises to improve infrastructure and protect healthcare access. Tackling the cost of living and restoring the state and local tax deduction on income taxes were also part of her platform. Democrat Siela Bynoe won the Senate over her competitor, Thomas Montefinise by a 20% margin. Noah Burroughs won in the 18th assembly district with 20,488 votes, compared to Smikle’s 3,715. “We need to all understand that we need to keep working together to continue to push this county forward. Working as a team is the only way that

patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick celebrating her win as State Senator over James Lynch. this thing begins to work and that is how we continue to move forward,” Burroughs said. Republican incumbent Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick won and retained and her State Senate District 9 seat over Democrat James Lynch. Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick, a former Malverne village trustee, emphasized issues such as crime reduction and economic recovery during her campaign.
She stressed that the police need more funding and training, and noted that bail reform and giving judges more discretion remains on her agenda. Ed Ra will return to Albany as the Republican beat back the challenge of Democrat Sanjeev Jindal for Assembly District 19. Ra supports a more transparent state budget adoption process with the public being informed on which stakeholders are impacting discussions. Incumbent GOP Assemblyman Brian Curran is currently trailing behind Democrat Judy Griffin for the A.D. 21 seat. Curran had reclaimed the post two years ago from Griffin. Curran identified his top priorities as taxes, crime, affordability, and quality-of-life issues. Griffin aims to continue her work as an advocate for education, mental health initiatives, reproductive rights, and local law enforcement. Prop 1 that aimed to add protections against discrimination to the state constitution won approval with 63% in favor and 37% of voters against it. All winners are projected winners as of this moment.
