Queens and the rest of New York
state were indeed hit by a “blue wave”
of Democratic voters during Tuesday’s
midterm election.
Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul
were re-elected for another term as
governor and lieutenant governor,
respectively. Public Advocate Letitia
James made history as the fi rst African
American woman elected as New
York State attorney general. And a slew
of Democratic victories across the
state — including Queens, Brooklyn
and on Long Island — gave the party
a sizable majority in the State Senate.
State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli
and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
were also easily re-elected to their
posts.
Among the local races, State Senator
Joe Addabbo was re-elected to his sixth
term representing the 15th Senatorial
District, which includes Ridgewood,
Glendale, Maspeth, Middle Village,
Forest Hills Rego Park, Woodhaven,
Ozone Park, Howard Beach, Richmond
Hill and the Rockaways. Addabbo
received 44,279 votes or 63.8 percent
while Republican Tom Sullivan got
25,092 votes or 36.2 percent.
Stacey Pheff er Amato also won another
term in her district with 19,105 votes
or 67.8 percent. Matthew Pecorino got
9,042 votes or 32.1 percent of the 23rd
Assembly District that
includes Ozone Park,
Howard Beach, Broad
Channel and most of
the Rockaways.
Alexandria Ocasio
Cortez became
the youngest woman
to ever be elected to
Congress when she
won the 14th Congressional
District
with 100,044 votes or
77.9 percent. Republican
nominee Anthony
Pappas got 17,762
votes or 13.8 percent.
Despite losing the
Democratic primary and later withdrawing
from the campaign, 10-term
incumbent Joe Crowley still received
8,505 votes or 6.6 percent. Conservative
Elizabeth Perri got 2,028 votes
or 1.6 percent. The district includes
parts of Corona, College Point, East
Elmhurst, Flushing, Jackson Heights,
Woodside and the Bronx.
OTHER BIG WINNERS ON
ELECTION NIGHT WERE:
Incumbent Congresswoman Grace
Meng of the 6th Congressional
District, who received 103,823 votes
or 90.4 percent, while Green Party
candidate Thomas Hillgardner got
only 10,514 votes or 9.2 percent. The
district covers parts of Ridgewood,
Forest Hills, Middle Village, Glendale
and Maspeth.

basically unopposed
for the 13th Senatorial
District seat and won
with 41,214 votes or
89.6 percent. The district
covers Corona,
East Elmhurst, Jackson
Heights, Willets Point
and Woodside.
Democrat Brian Barnwell
won a second term
in the 30th Assembly
District by a landslide
with 19,864 votes or
75.7 percent. Republican
Eric Butkiewicz got
just 6,313 votes or 24.1 percent. The
