2015 election results recap

In addition to last week’s local city, town and county races, there were five special elections for state Legislature. None of those special election seats changed party from the outgoing official. Republican Fred Akshar defeated Barbara Fiala soundly to replace Tom Libous in the Southern Tier Senate seat. Three Democrats will replace outgoing Democrats in the Assembly, and a fourth Democrat will replace John Sampson in the Senate. A regional breakdown of election results can be found here.
