Democrat Laura Gillen has defeated U.S. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito on Long Island, unseating the Republican after one term and rolling back recent GOP gains in New York City’s suburbs.

The battle for New York’s undecided voters centered on two races on Long Island, two in parts of the Hudson Valley and one in central New York. Freshman Republicans who mostly won by slim margins in the 2022 midterms faced well-funded Democrats who had the added advantage of a presidential candidate on the top of the ticket.
