From Central New York to the tip of Long Island, Democratic and Republican voters have cast their ballots to decide who will represent their parties in the November general election. The blockbuster victory of the night was Westchester County Executive George Latimer’s win over Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the Democratic primary, which has broader repercussions for progressives in New York and beyond.
Out on Long Island, former CNN pundit John Avlon soundly defeated former chemist Nancy Goroff and will face Republican Rep. Nick LaLota in November. In New York City, national progressive force Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated a long shot Democratic primary challenge from investment banker Marty Dolan.
Further upstate, Democratic state Sen. John Mannion defeated Dewitt Councilor Sarah Klee Hood in Central New York, and he will now get a crack at one of the more flippable red seats in New York. Republicans are getting in on the fun too, with Rep. Claudia Tenney defeating attorney Mario Fratto in a firmly Republican Lake Ontario area district.
