The 2010 New York State Senate elections were held on November 2, 2010 to elect representatives from all 62 State Senate districts in the U.S. state of New York. [1] Primary elections were held on September 14, 2010. [2] Republicans retook the Senate majority, [3] winning 32 seats to the Democrats' 30 on Election Day. [4] [5]

Contents

One Republican Senate incumbent, Senator Frank Padavan of Queens, was defeated, [6] while four Democratic incumbents (Sens. Brian Foley, [7] Antoine Thompson, [8] Darrel Aubertine, [9] and Craig Johnson [4] ) were defeated in the general election. [10] [1] Democratic candidate David Carlucci was elected to an open seat in Senate District 38 [11] that had become vacant due to the July 2010 death of Republican Senator Thomas Morahan. [12] Incumbent Democrat William Stachowski was defeated by Timothy M. Kennedy in a Democratic primary in Senate District 58, [13] and Kennedy prevailed in the general election. [14] The Republicans' takeover of control of the State Senate was not confirmed until Johnson, who had sought a full hand recount of his race, exhausted his final court appeal on December 20, 2010.
