SARATOGA SPRINGS — Several political leaders familiar to area residents respectively secured newly elected terms this week. In races specific to Saratoga, incumbent U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko (D, WF) defeated challenger Kevin Waltz (R,C) in the 20th Congressional District – which represents the majority of Saratoga County, and more than 140,000 county voters. Tonko was elected to the U.S. House in 2008 to represent District 21, which he served
to 2013, and since 2013 has representing New York’s 20th Congressional District. Tonko secured the majority of votes both – in the overall multicounty district (58.6% - 37.7%), and among Saratoga County voters (53.5% - 43.1%). Newly redistricted this year, the 21st Congressional District represents northern Saratoga County and the northeastern edge of the county (more than 40,000 voters), which includes including the towns of Saratoga, Greenfield and Moreau, among others in their entirety, as well as a portion of Wilton.
