Democratic U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand faces off against Republican Mike Sapraicone, a former New York City Police Department detective, in a high-profile statewide race. Gillibrand, who has been in the Senate since 2009, has been leading in the polls by anywhere from 17 to 26 percentage points since August.
Sapraicone had been preparing to run against then-Rep. George Santos in the 3rd Congressional District on Long Island last year, but after Santos’ ousting, party leaders selected Nassau County Legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip as their special election candidate in February and Sapraicone was chosen to run for the Senate that same month.
In their only debate on Oct. 23, the two Senate candidates talked about the economy, rising health care costs and Proposal 1, which would enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution.
