Tedisco, Tonko Secure Primary Election Victories

SARATOGA COUNTY — Incumbent Democrat Congressman Paul Tonko, and Republican State Sen. James Tedisco each emerged with Primary Election victories on Aug. 23, solidifying the list of candidates and challengers of their respective races in the November election. 

The 20th Congressional District – which counts just over 203,000 active enrolled Democrats – includes Saratoga, Albany, and Schenectady counties, and parts of Rensselaer. With 505 of 509 election districts reporting Wednesday morning, Tonko led Democrat challenger Rostislav Rar by an 87.5% to 11.6% margin. In all, just under 20,000 total votes were counted, according to the NYS Board of Elections unofficial Election Night results. 

Tonko will face Republican challenger Liz Lemery Joy for the 20th Congressional District seat in November. 

The 44th Senate District – which counts just under 70,000 active enrolled Republicans – includes Saratoga County, and parts of Schenectady County. With 123 of 125 election districts reporting Wednesday morning, Tedisco led State Sen. Daphne Jordan by a 77.1% to 22.4% margin. Jordan received nearly one-quarter of the 6,400 total votes despite announcing earlier this year that she would not campaign for re-election, after redistricting pitted the two GOP state senators against one another.   

Tedisco will face Democrat challenger Michelle Ostrelich for New York’s 44th Senate District seat in November. 

The General Election takes place Nov. 8. Early voting will take place Oct. 29 to Nov. 6.
