| Description | "Suffolk County Democrats will maintain the majority of the legislature, according to initial election results, which are in for all but two districts that appear too close to call—both of which are open seats.
In the 7th district, both Robert Calarco (D-Patchogue) and John Giannott (R-East Patchogue) are looking to replace Legis. Jack Eddington (I-Medford) who did not choose to seek re-election. Calarco is winning in early returns with the slim lead of 103 votes.
Only 179 votes seperates William Spencer (D-Centerport) who is leading Elizabeth Black (R-Huntington) in the race to replace term-limited Majority Leader Jon Cooper (D-Lloyd Harbor).
Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) beat out Anthony Moncayo (R-Setauket) 57 to 42 percent to fill a third open seat held by outgoing Legis. Vivian Viloria-Fisher (D-Setauket) who is also term-limited.
The remaining seats were all maintained by the incumbents. Presiding Officer William Lindsay (D-Holbrook) topped Republican challenger Anthony Musumeci 54 to 46 percent and Minority Leader John M. Kennedy Jr. (R-Nesconset) won against Martin Aponte (D-Hauppauge) by 74 to 26 percent." |
