Tim Kennedy Wins Buffalo's 26th Congressional District Special Election

Kennedy's victory strengthens Democratic position in the House, signaling potential shifts in legislative priorities.

State Sen. Timothy M. Kennedy won the U.S. House of Representatives seat in a special election, defeating Republican Gary Dickson with over 68% of the vote.
Kennedy's win is seen as a blow to the Republican majority, which is already facing internal divisions and challenges in passing significant legislation.
The victory celebration was held at the Buffalo Pierce-Arrow Museum with a large turnout of Democratic activists and officials.
Kennedy aims to address issues like human rights and democracy preservation, alongside fighting the 'MAGA' movement in Congress.
The newly elected congressman plans to run for a full two-year term in the upcoming fall elections.
