New York 2016 Election Results — MultiState Elections

New York held its general election on November 8, 2016, deciding 213 legislative seats. Control shifted: the Senate moved from Republican control with 31 of 63 seats to organization by a bipartisan coalition.

Highlights

Republicans kept running the Senate even though Democrats won a 32-31 edge in seats. Simcha Felder (D), a Brooklyn Democrat who sits with the GOP, decided to stay put for 2017, and the GOP could also count on its ongoing relationship with the Independent Democratic Conference, a breakaway group that by then had seven members.
The Senate fight came down to Long Island:
- John E. Brooks (D) unseated freshman Sen. Michael Venditto (R) in Senate District 8 by about 300 votes, after a recount of thousands of absentee and other paper ballots.
- Carl Marcellino (R) held Senate District 5 by about 1,800 votes over James Gaughran (D).
- Elaine Phillips (R) kept the open Senate District 7, which Jack Martins left to run for Congress, by about 2 points over Adam Haber (D).
- Todd Kaminsky (D), who had won former Sen. Dean Skelos's Senate District 9 in a spring special election, beat Chris McGrath again by about 4 points.
Republicans offset Brooks's gain when Christopher Jacobs (R) won the open, Democratic-held Senate District 60 by about 20 points.
In the Assembly, Democrats kept a 107-43 majority. The lone incumbent to lose there was John D. Ceretto (D), who had switched to the Democrats after winning in 2014 as a Republican; Angelo Morinello (R) beat him by about 9 points in Assembly District 145. Republicans also picked up the open Assembly District 20 with Melissa L. Miller (R), while Democrats picked up two open Republican seats: Bill Jones (D) in Assembly District 115 and Monica P. Wallace (D) in Assembly District 143. Counting Ceretto's seat, the two parties' legislative pickups evened out.

Legislature

Assembly (150 seats): 106 D, 44 R before the election, 107 D, 43 R after; control stayed with Democrats.
Senate (63 seats): 31 D, 32 R before the election, 32 D, 31 R after; control moved from Republicans to a bipartisan coalition.
