The last time the Democratic Party had majorities this large in either chamber in Albany, the Republican Party didn’t exist yet. The other party was the Whigs.
Democratic candidates currently lead in 48 of 63 districts in the New York State Senate. This will be the largest Democratic majority since 1846, when Democrats held 25 of 32 seats, and the largest majority for any party since 1922, when Republicans held 39 of 51 seats.
In the Assembly, Democratic candidates currently lead in 111 of 150 Assembly districts. That would be the largest Democratic majority since 1842, when Democrats held 96 of 128 seats, and the largest majority for any party since 1921, when Republicans held 119 of 150 seats.
My office is monitoring this issue with scanners in Westchester and is in touch with the state and local Boards of Elections as they work on a solution.
Westchester voters can still safely fill out and turn in their ballots at their polling locations. Your votes will count.
New Rochelle said yes to housing. It worked.
4,500 homes built since 2020.
Rents stabilizing.
Communities reconnecting.
When communities say YES to housing, we’re going to LET THEM BUILD.
@admcrlsn Oct. 25 is the absolute last day to register to vote: online, receipt of mail, and in-person. No voter can register less than 10 days before the election. Nov. 3 is the last day to request an absentee ballot in-person, but it is too late to register to vote by then.
Tonight we held a moment of silence to remember Joe Fosina, a member of the Yankees family for over 40 years 💙
As the uniform reconditioner, Joe would tailor, fix, clean, and do whatever was needed when uniforms needed to be altered. A U.S. Army veteran, Joe was also a huge supporter of youth sports in his hometown of New Rochelle, where he also served as a City Council member and Civil Service Commissioner.
The Yankees organization mourns his loss and sends our condolences to the Fosina family.
We mourn the passing of former mayor, the Hon. Vincent Rippa, and extend our deepest condolences to his family & loved ones.
Mayor Ramos-Herbert has directed the City flag to be flown half-staff in his honor for the next week.
Thank you @NRPublicLibrary for archival resources.
Last week I met with New Rochelle Mayor Yadira Ramos-Herbert in her office, and I am grateful that this week we met in mine. We had a good discussion on transportation infrastructure funding, ongoing stormwater projects, and upcoming direct federal funding I’m advocating for in DC.
@brigidbergin Does this mean only that they are signaling support in the Dem primary? Or will they also be giving Wilson-Pakulas to all 4 to allow them to run in the WFP primary?
Falling in (or out of💔) love with your party? In New York, eligible voters must be enrolled in a political party in order to participate in that party’s Primary Elections. The deadline to do so each year is February 14. Check your enrollment here: https://t.co/yMhDsVtYyS.
@adriaeln@WWFerguson2 There were two additional examples this year, both in South Brooklyn: newly elected Assemblyman Kalman Yeger (AD-41) and incumbent Assemblywoman Jaime Williams (AD-59) were cross-endorsed and ran on both the Democratic and Republican lines.
@adriaeln@WWFerguson2 It is a combination of personal, local and ideological factors. At the local level, the major parties can be run by individuals supportive of the same candidate. In Brooklyn, it's usually an electable Democrat with enough conservative credentials to also get the GOP line.
@ECaliberSeven Those Westchester results must be from much earlier in the night. Current results from the Westchester Board of Elections have only about a 10 point swing.

-City Hall Annex, 90 Beaufort Place
