Primary election season has now come and gone – there is now clarity in several key races as we look to the general election in the fall.

Democrats have not won NY-1 in more than 10 years, but it is considered by most to be a "purple" district, with Republicans having just a small edge in voter enrollment.

News 12’s Rachel Yonkunas recently interviewed Legislator Seila Bynoe about the primary results.
