STATEWIDE – SEN. KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND on Tuesday secured reelection to the U.S. Senate over challenger Mike Sapraicone, a Republican former NYPD detective, reports the New York Post. Gillibrand secured 71% of the vote over Sapraicone’s 29%; the race was called as soon as polls closed. This will be her third full term in office; she was originally appointed to replace Hillary Clinton in 2009, when the former senator accepted the position of former President Obama’s secretary of state.

In a press statement, Gillibrand thanked volunteers and supporters for their efforts in turning out the vote: “I am so proud of the historic coordinated campaign we’ve built here in New York. Together with Governor Hochul, Leader Jeffries, and Chair Jacobs, we have built a turnout machine never before seen in our state. The numbers are incredible: 1.3 million doors, 5 million calls and 23,000 volunteers.”
