Alliance Alert: As election results continue to come in across New York and the nation, the Alliance for Rights and Recovery commends everyone who exercised their right to vote and participated in our democratic process, regardless of which candidates or parties they supported. Voting is a fundamental right and a critical part of civic engagement, but our responsibility to shape the future of our communities does not end at the ballot box.
We are sharing the article below as a quick way to review election results from key races across New York State. While many races have been called, some results remain unofficial and may not be finalized until later today or this week as additional ballots are counted, particularly in closely contested elections.
Whether or not we voted for the individuals who will represent us, we all have a role in holding our elected officials accountable and ensuring they listen to and address the needs of their constituents. Continued civic engagement, advocacy, and communication with policymakers are essential to advancing the services, supports, rights, and opportunities our communities need.
One important way to stay involved is by joining advocacy campaigns and events, including the Alliance’s Regional Forums and Annual Legislative Day on February 9, 2027! We are currently planning additional Regional Forums in New York City, Long Island, the North Country, and Rochester ahead of the upcoming legislative session. These gatherings will provide opportunities to share local priorities, discuss pressing policy issues, and help shape our collective advocacy agenda.
Stay tuned for more details on our upcoming forums, and join us as we continue working to ensure our voices are heard throughout the year!

New York (WRGB) — Voters across New York headed to the polls Tuesday for the 2026 midterm elections, deciding races for governor, attorney general, state comptroller, Congress and the state Legislature.
Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul won a second full term, while Democrats Letitia James and Thomas DiNapoli held substantial leads in their reelection bids for attorney general and comptroller.
In the Capital Region, Democrat Paul Tonko secured another term in Congress, while the closely watched race for New York’s 21st Congressional District remained a focus as votes continued to be counted.
New York Governor
Democrat Gov. Hochul defeated Republican Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive, to win a second full term.
Blakeman conceded Tuesday night after calling Hochul to congratulate her on her victory.

Democrat Attorney General Letitia James declared victory Tuesday night in her bid for a third term against Republican Saritha Komatireddy.
The attorney general serves as New York’s chief legal officer, representing the state in legal matters and overseeing investigations involving consumer protection, fraud and other issues.
