SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY — Following an unprecedented surge in early voting nationwide that saw record numbers in some states, Suffolk County residents flooded the polls on Election Day to cast their ballots in an election that's shaping up to be a referendum on President Donald Trump's first term as president. Long Islanders cast ballots for both state and federal elections, including Congress, New York Assembly and state Senate.

All 150 seats in the New York Assembly were up for election in 2020. In Suffolk County, Democrat incumbents hold four seats, Republicans hold three, the Independence Party holds one, and four will have a vacancy filled by the election winner. Of those four, all are or were previously held by Republicans.

Suffolk Assembly Races to Watch

The four races where a current incumbent will not hold onto the seat are in assembly districts 2, 7, 9 and 12.

In New York Assembly District 2, Republican Jodi Giglio, Democrat Laura Jens-Smith and Libertarian William Van Helmond will be vying for Republican Anthony Palumbo's seat.

In the seventh district, Republican Jarett Gandolfo and Democrat Francis T. Genco are going head-to-head for the seat being vacated by Republican Andrew Garbarino, who is a candidate for the United States House of Representatives. Garbarino opposes Democrat Jackie Gordon in that race.

The ninth district sees Republican Michael Durso and Democrat Ann Brancato competing for Republican Michael LiPetri's seat. LiPetri ran for Congress but was defeated by Garbarino in the GOP primary.

In the 12th district, Democrat Michael Marcantonio and Republican Keith Brown are aiming for a vacant seat last held by Republican Andrew Raia before his retirement from the assembly. Raia now serves as the Town of Huntington clerk.
