Democratic Campaign Committee chair on state Senate gains

The “blue tsunami” that swept through the nation did not leave New York untouched.

Democrats swept statewide races again, flipped Republican House seats and increased their supermajority in the state Assembly. In the state Senate, Democrats are on track to win 46 Senate Seats with a very close race in the Capital Region that could reach up to 47 seats in a chamber of 63.

Shelley Mayer, the chair of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee, joined Capital Tonight from the SOMOS conference in Puerto Rico to discuss the wins.
