Senator Seward elected to 16th term
NEW YORK – On Tuesday, Nov. 8, Senator James L. Seward (R) was overwhelmingly re-elected to a 16th term as state senator after beating Democratic candidate Jermaine Bagnall-Graham and winning nearly 70 percent of the vote.
“I am thrilled and humbled with the victory and look forward to continuing the strong partnerships I have developed with the people of the 51st Senate District ensuring our needs, our views, and our values are well represented in Albany,” said Senator Seward.
Senator Seward went on to say, “I first ran for state senator because I wanted to serve the public and help the people who call this area home – I am still driven by those sentiments. This past year alone, I helped advance a landmark middle class income tax cut, record aid for our local schools, new resources for our upstate roads and bridges, and vital measures to address the crushing heroin epidemic.”
Democratic candidate Bagnall-Graham took a moment to congratulate Senator Seward in a post-election statement. Bagnall-Graham said, “I was able to speak to [Sen. Seward] last night and we had a very nice conversation. With all of the attack ads on television and in the papers, we were both pleased with the civility of our particular contest. I also want to thank the people of the 51st Senate District for coming out and voting. Democracy was witnessed last night. Moving forward, I will take time to reflect on what I did and how to improve. I will also focus on family and community.”
As a result of his victory, Seward will remain Senator of the 51st Senate District, encompassing all or parts of Cayuga, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Herkimer, Otsego, Schoharie, Tompkins, and Ulster counties.
