| Description | Padavan set to return to NY SenateBy MICHAEL VIRTANEN | Associated Press Writer
February 4, 2009
ALBANY, N.Y. - Incumbent State Sen. Frank Padavan, a Queens Republican, is expected to return as a victor to Albany next week following months of recounts and challenges in his race against Democrat James Gennaro, a New York City Council member.
Padavan says the net change in a review of 2,708 invalid ballots shows him winning by 578 votes instead of 580. A judge is scheduled to review recount results Thursday and is expected to allow the New York City Board of Elections to certify the results.
Padavan, who said he's been staying up on issues from his district office, will be returning to a changed Senate, with Democrats holding a 32-30 majority, their first control of the chamber in 43 years.
"I feel like I've never been away," he said, adding the job remains representing the people in the district. |
