Democrat Laura Gillen Wins Key New York House Seat

Gillen's victory over incumbent Anthony D’Esposito marks a significant Democratic gain in a highly contested district.

Laura Gillen unseated Republican Anthony D’Esposito in New York's Congressional District, flipping the seat to Democrats.
The race was closely watched as a critical battleground, with Gillen securing 51% of the vote according to the Associated Press.
D’Esposito's campaign faced ethical scrutiny over allegations of improper hiring practices, which he denied.
This victory is part of a broader Democratic effort to regain control of the House, with New York being a focal point for seat flips.
Despite Democratic gains in the state, the overall balance of power in the House remains uncertain with several races still uncalled.
