All 27 members from New York of the U.S. House of Representatives, one U.S. senate seat, and some members of the New York State legislature are up for election, with most incumbents seeking re-election.

Presidential election

Main article: United States presidential election, 2012

New York has 29 electoral votes at stake. As is the case with most states, the electors are winner-takes-all. The candidates that have achieved ballot access are as follows, in order of their position on the ballot:

United States House

Main article: United States House of Representatives elections in New York, 2012

After a loss of two seats following the 2010 United States Census, the 2012 United States House of Representatives elections in New York will be reduced from twenty-nine to elect the twenty-seven U.S. Representatives for the state. The congressional district boundaries will be finalized by March 20, 2012. Fifteen-term Democratic representative Gary Ackerman, ten-term Democratic Maurice Hinchey, and freshman Republican Bob Turner announced that they will not seek re-election to United States House of Representatives.

United States Senate

Main article: United States Senate election in New York, 2012

Kirsten Gillibrand had been appointed to the seat by Governor David Paterson in 2009, and was officially elected in a special election on November 2, 2010. Senator Gillibrand will seek re-election for a full term against a Republican opponent. Attorney Wendy E. Long, defeated Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos, US Representative Bob Turner in a primary election for the Republican Party nomination.[1]

State Legislature

On June 24, 2011 New York's legislature legalized same-sex marriage with the Marriage Equality Act. The Conservative Party of New York stated it would withdraw support for any candidate who voted in favor of the bill.[2] With New York's electoral fusion, Republican candidates often rely on the endorsement of the Conservative Party. Senators Roy McDonald, James Alesi, Mark Grisanti, and Stephen Saland each voted in favor of the Marriage Equality Act, and were previously endorsed by the Conservative Party. Carl Paladino, the 2010 Republican gubernatorial nominee, also announced he would financially back primary candidates against both Grisanti and Saland, as well as Assemblywoman Janet Duprey, who also supported the Act.[3]

State Senate

The New York State Senate currently has 62 representatives and proposed creating an additional senate district. All of the State Senate districts will be up for election.

27th District Special Election

A special election was held on March 20 to fill the 27 Senate District, after Carl Kruger was convicted of a felony and forced to leave office, between Democratic New York City Councilman Lewis Fidler and Republican David Storobin. After counting 100% of the districts on election night, Storobin led by 120 votes. Once the additional 2,100 absentee ballots were counted, the lead was reduced to 27 votes in favor of Storobin.[4]

During the recount, accusations of vote fraud were raised by the Fidler campaign, but rejected by the judge who noted that the Fidler campaign "failed to introduce any evidence showing fraud".[5] On May 31, 2012 Lew Fidler conceded and congratulated Storobin following a full re-count, which Storobin won by 16 votes.[6]

Open Seats

  • 4th District: Fifteen-term incumbent Republican Owen H. Johnson, 83, will not seek re-election.[7] Assemblyamn Philip Boyle has been endorsed by the Republican, Conservative and Independence Party.
  • 29th District: Seven-term incumbent Democrat Thomas Duane will not seek re-election in this predominantly LGBT district; Brad Hoylman will seek the seat.[8]
  • 37th District: 14-term Democratic Senator Suzi Oppenheimer will not be seeking re-election.[9] Diane Roth and Bob Cohen announced that they will seek the Republican nomination. Diane Roth has dropped out of the race as of August 2012. Assemblyman George S. Latimer will seek election the Democratic nomination.
  • 43rd District: Republican Senator Roy J. McDonald has received the endorsement of the Independence Party of New York, but expects to lose the endorsement of the Conservative Party for voting in favor of same-sex marriage.[10] Republican Saratoga County Clerk and former Halfmoon Town Supervisor Kathleen Marchione defeated incumbent Roy Mcdonald in the primary election.
  • 46th District: This is a newly created district stretching from Montgomery County south to Ulster County. Republican Assemblyman George Amedore is running. Coeymans Town Councilman Thomas Dolan, Duanesburg Central School Board of Education President Cecilia Tkaczyk, and Monica Arias Miranda of the Hispanic Coalition of New York are seeking the Democratic nomination.[11][12]
  • 55th District: Incumbent Republican Senator James Alesi announced that he would not seek re-election, citing concerns about his ability to prevail against a primary challenger following his controversial 2011 vote in favor of same-sex marriage.[13][14] Monroe County Legislator Ted O'Brien is running as a Democrat and Assemblyman Sean Hanna is seeking the Republican nomination.[15]

Notable Races

  • 6th District: Republican incumbent Kemp Hannon will be challenged by attorney Ryan Cronin.[16]
  • 11th District: Democratic incumbent Tony Avella will be challenged by Republican Joseph Concannon.[17]
  • 15th District: Democratic incumbent Joseph Addabbo will be challenged by Republican New York City Councilman Eric Ulrich.[18]
  • 16th District: Democratic incumbent Toby Stavisky will be challenged in a primary by John Messer. The winner will take on Attorney J.D. Kim, the nominee of the Republican Party. Redistricting has reorganized this district as one with a population with a majority of Asian descent.[19]
  • 17th District: Republican incumbent David Storobin who won an upset special election in the former 27th Senate District, will seek re-election in the 17th District. He will face a challenge from former City Councilman Simcha Felder.
  • 21st district: Democratic incumbent Kevin Parker will be challenged by Mindy Meyer, a 22-year-old Republican law student from Flatbush.[20] It is possible that Meyer's candidacy is a joke[21] and for that reason the Republican Party denied her a spot on the ballot, due to the fact that she had failed to join the party prior to the deadline for the November ballot; the Conservative Party has given her their ballot line.[22]
  • 22nd District: Republican incumbent Martin Golden will be challenged by attorney Andrew Gounardes.[23]
  • 38th District: Freshman Democratic Senator and IDC member David Carlucci faces a possible primary challenge from Rockland Legislator Alden Wolfe. Republican Janis Castaldi, former Ossining Deputy Mayor, is also running.[24] Castaldi initially received support from the Conservative Party, but when it became known that she supported same-sex marriage and was married to a woman, it was announced that she would not receive the Conservative Party line.[25][26]
  • 39th District: 84-year-old Republican Senator Bill Larkin announced that he will seek re-election for the last time.[27]
  • 41st District: Republican Senator Stephen Saland faced a Tea Party-backed challenge from Neil DeCarlo; on election night, the incumbent led by a surprisingly small 13-vote margin, making the race too close to call.[28]
  • 44th District: Incumbent Democrat Neil Breslin faces a primary challenge from Albany County Legislative Chairman Shawn Morse. The Independent Democratic Conference has spoken positively about Morse and there is speculation they might endorse his candidacy.[29] Breslin defeated Morse in the primary.
  • 48th District: Freshman Republican Senator Patty Ritchie faces a challenge from Oswego County resident Amy Tressider.[30]
  • 60th District: Freshman Republican Senator Mark Grisanti, who is also endorsed by the Independence Party, lost the endorsement of the Conservative Party of New York State due to his vote for same-sex marriage.[31] The Conservative Party has endorsed former county legislator Charles Swanick, a registered Democrat.[32] Carl Paladino and local Tea Party activists have endorsed Republican Kevin Stocker in a primary contest against Grisanti, and the Democrats have nominated Hamburg Attorney Michael Amodeo, who might face a primary challenge from Swanick as well as former Senator Al Coppola. Additionally, Kenmore Mayor Patrick Mang is seeking the endorsement of the Working Families Party.[33] New York Times columnist Bill Keller has stated that Sen. Grisanti "should be the most endangered Republican in the Senate."[34] Amodeo and Grisanti won their respective primaries, setting up a three-way contest for the seat between them and Swanick in November.
  • 62nd District: Incumbent Republican George Maziarz easily brushed aside a challenge from Johnny Destino, despite Destino's heavy support from Tea Party activists including Carl Paladino.
  • 63rd District: Incumbent Democrat Tim Kennedy faces a primary challenge from former Buffalo Common Council member Betty Jean Grant. Grant is an ally of former state senator Antoine Thompson; the new 63rd district includes much of the heavily minority territory Thompson once represented. Kennedy has the endorsement of the Independence Party. Kennedy led by 271 votes in the election-night tally.

State Assembly

  • 40th District: Current Assemblywoman Grace Meng is currently seeking the Democratic nomination for the vacant 6th Congressional District, if she is not successful she could seek re-election.

The Republicans have endorsed Phil Gim, but he faces a primary challenge from community activist Sunny Hahn.
