How Much Money Went To Jerry Nadler Compared To UWS Challengers

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — Congressman Jerry Nadler won reelection Tuesday night against Republican Cathy Bernstein and Libertarian Michael Madrid to represent the 1oth Congressional District.

With 100 percent of the vote in, Nadler won with 68.8 percent of the vote, ahead of Bernstein at 30 percent and Madrid at 1.2 percent, according to NY1. New York will not count absentee ballots until next week.

Nadler has held the congressional seat since 1992, and was considered the heavy favorite going into the race.
