Saratoga County Election Results
It was a late night in Saratoga County as candidates, voters, and reporters all waited for results of the 2026 midterm elections.
The first batch of results came in at around 10:30 p.m. and continued until all precincts reported their results at 11:54 p.m.
As results came in, it became clear that there would be no wave for either party in Saratoga. As of writing, all incumbent supervisors led their respective races, and all open seats remain in the hands of their respective parties.
With several federal, state and municipal elections taking place in the County, here are the results for Saratoga County.
State Legislature
44th Senate District
On January 1, 1983, the top song in the United States was Maneater by Daryl Hall & John Oates; Zhou Zi Chew, the future CEO of Tik Tok was born in Singapore; and the New York Rangers defeated the Washington Capitals 7-2.
It was also the day that Republican James Tedisco was sworn in as an Assemblyman, representing what was then the 107th Assembly District in New York’s lower house. Over the next 43 years, Tedisco would represent parts of Schenectady and Saratoga Counties in both the Assembly and in the Senate starting in 2017.
That run in Albany will end this year as Tedisco was defeated by Democrat Sarah Rogerson, an immigration lawyer from Schenectady, 59,724 votes (47.22%) to Rogerson’s 65,186 votes (51.53%).
In a statement issued on the morning of Nov. 4, Tedisco conceded the election and said he spoke with Rogerson and congratulated her on the win.
“It’s been a blessing and the honor of my lifetime to be a representative and a public servant,” Tedisco said in the statement.
He also highlighted some accomplishments from his time in Albany including the passage of Buster’s Law and a bill to enable people to carry epi-pens.
In a statement released in the early hours of Nov. 4, Rogerson celebrated the win.
“It is the honor of my lifetime to take Senate District 44 into the New York State Senate Supermajority, where our residents will not only have a seat at the table, but a fighter on their side to address the crushing affordability crisis and uncertainty coming out of Washington. The time is now, and the work begins immediately,” she said in a statement.
Assembly Districts
While Saratoga’s only Senate District saw an incumbent fall to a challenger, all four of Saratoga’s Assembly Districts were won by comfortable margins.
The most competitive district was in the southern part of the county in the 112th Assembly District where Incumbent Republican Mary Beth Walsh survived a challenge from Democrat and Clifton Park Town Council member Mario Fantini, 33,327 votes (54%) to Fantini’s 26,752 votes (44%).
It was a similar story one district up in the 113th Assembly District where incumbent Democrat Carrie Woerner easily defeated Republican businessman Alan Caruso, receiving 31,784 votes (57.56%), to Caruso’s 21,403 votes (38.76%).
The race for the 113th was notable as it saw an alleged spoiler candidate on the ballot in Thomas Kenny who ran on the Working Families Party and No Kings lines. On Oct. 13, the Working Families Party disavowed Kenny and accused him of being a sock puppet candidate. An investigation into Kenny’s website by New York Focus found that it was created by the same person who created Caruso’s campaign website.
This alleged spoiler attempt failed as Kenny only received 1,325 votes (2.4%) — well below the threshold needed to impact Woerner’s victory.
The largest margin of victory for the four assembly incumbents came in the 108th Assembly District, which loops the town of Waterford into a district that includes the cities of Troy, Cohoes, and Rensselaer. Democrat incumbent John T. McDonald III defeated Republican challenger Joseph J. Adamo III, 26,288 votes (64.49 %) to Adamo’s 12,940 (31.75%).
Finally, in a district that covers parts of Warren, Washington, Essex, Fulton and the Saratoga Counties, Republican incumbent Matthew Simpson defeated democrat challenger John Gunther 32,211 votes (58.25%) to 21,223 votes (38.38%)
Municipal Elections
– Town of Ballston
It was rematch season in the Town of Ballston as incumbent Republican John Antoski once again faced off against former supervisor Eric Connolly who ran on the “Shared Future Line.” This is the third time the two have faced off with Antoski defeating Connolly twice before during the 2025 and 2026 Republican primaries.
The general election was no different with Antoski, who ran on the Republican and Conservative lines, receiving 3,555 (73%) votes to Connolly’s 1,281 votes (26%), as of time of writing.
Also in Ballston, Mary Ziegler, who ran unopposed on the Republican and Conservative Lines, was elected Tax Collector with 4,213 votes.
– Town of Clifton Park
Saratoga County’s largest Town also saw the most change. With longtime Town/County Supervisor Republican Phillip Barrett retiring, the question of who would replace him and who would serve as the second Supervisor on the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors were on the ballot.
In the race to replace Barrett, current Supervisor, Democrat Ram Lalukota faced off against Republican former Deputy Supervisor and Town Council member Anthony Morelli. In this election Morelli defeated Lalukota, receiving 9,223 votes (52%) to Lalukota’s 8,400 votes (48%).
While Republicans may have won the top of the ticket in Clifton Park, they didn’t secure the second seat on the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors vacated by Lalukota when he ran for Barrett’s old role. In this election, Republican Chad Gregory received 7,982 votes (46%) compared to Democrat Martin O’Connor’s 9,509 votes (54%).
Also in Clifton Park, Dan Bull, who ran unopposed on the Conservative and Democratic lines, was reelected Superintendent of Highways with 13,582 votes. The Town Clerk, Caitlin Fantini, was also reelected. She ran unopposed on the Democratic and Working Families line and received 12,376 votes.
– Town of Malta
In yet another rematch, incumbent Democrat Cynthia Young faced off against Republican Timothy Moseman in the race to decided who would serve as Malta’s Supervisor. The two faced off in 2025 for the seat with Young receiving 55% of the vote compared to Moseman’s 44%.
A year and over 3,000 more voters than last time didn’t change the result. Young once again defeated Moseman, receiving 4,124 votes (54%) compared to Moseman’s 3,543 votes (46%).
Also in Malta: Jennifer Holmes was reelected Town Clerk. She ran unopposed on the Republican and Conservative lines and received 5,332 votes. Brian Cline, who ran unopposed on the Republican and Conservative lines and received 5,249 votes, was elected Highway Superintendent. And finally, Nancy Fodera DeLeonardis was elected Tax Collector. She ran unopposed on the Republican and Conservative lines and received 5,263 votes.
– Town of Milton
There was only one competitive race in Milton where Democrat Michele Juda faced off against incumbent Republican Supervisor Scott Ostrander. Juda had run in 2025 for Milton Town Board and narrowly lost to John Frolish and Eric Delnicki.
In one of Saratoga County’s closest elections, Ostrander survived Juda’s challenge, receiving 3,889 votes (51%) to Juda’s 3,742 (49%).
Also in the Town of Milton: Jason Miller, who ran unopposed on the Republican and Conservative lines and received 5,382 votes, was reelected Highway Superintendent.
– Town of Moreau.
While Milton may be the closest race, Moreau was the biggest blowout. In this race, the only office on the ballot in Morea, incumbent Republican Supervisor Jesse Fish faced a challenge from Democrat Alexander Bennett.
Fish easily defeated Bennett, receiving 3,772 votes (61%) to Bennett’s 2,384 (39%)
– Town of Saratoga
In 2025, incumbent Saratoga Town Supervisor Republican Ian Murray didn’t have an opponent running against him and cruised to reelection with 1,221 votes.
While Murray may have faced a challenger in Democrat Paul Murphy, the result was the same. Murray survived Murphy’s challenge, receiving 1,344 votes (54%) to Murphey’s 1,139 votes (46%).
– Town of Wilton.
Last but not least of the tour of competitive supervisors’ races in Saratoga County is the Town of Wilton. The position was a democratic pick up in 2025 when then Republican Supervisor John Lant was defeated in a close election by Supervisor Dr. Toni Sturm.
While the challenger may have won in 25’, it was not to be in 26’. Sturm defeated a challenge by Lant’s former deputy Republican John McEachron, receiving 4,322 votes (56%) to McEachron’s 3,356 (44%).
Other Competitive Races in the County.
• In the race for Northumberland Highway Superintendent, Republican Michael Baker defeated Conservative William Winslow 1,278 (67%)-601 (32%)

Federal and Statewide Elections
New York’s 20th and 21st Congressional Districts.
While the 20th and 21st Congressional Districts may split Saratoga County along north and south, their elections couldn’t be more different. In the 20th district, Incumbent Democrat Paul Tonko defeated Republican Ralph Ambrosio, 181,290 votes (63.5%) to Ambrosio’s 103,846 votes (36.4%). The race was called by the Associated Press at 10:40 p.m. on election night — about 10 minutes after Saratoga County started releasing unofficial election results.
In the 21st district, which saw Sticker Mule CEO Republican Anthony Constantino facing off against dairy farmer Democrat Blake Gendebien, the race still hasn’t been called by the Associated Press as of 5 p.m. on Nov. 4 when Saratoga TODAY is sent to print.
