Democrats win New York state Senate race in Trump-friendly district
- Democrat Sam Sutton won the May 20, 2025, special election to hold New York State Senate District 22 in Brooklyn after Simcha Felder resigned.
- The seat became vacant after Felder left the Senate to join the City Council, and Sutton capitalized on a strong Democratic registration advantage over the GOP.
- The district, covering Boro Park, Midwood, and Flatbush, has a sizable Orthodox Jewish population and voted 77% for Donald Trump in 2024, yet Sutton won decisively.
- Sutton secured 67.6% of the vote compared to Nachman Caller's 32.4%, with Decision Desk HQ projecting the winner for the Democrat shortly after polls closed, specifically at 9:28 p.m. EST.
- Sutton's victory maintains the Democrats' historically large Senate majority and signals their organizational strength despite shifting loyalties in traditionally Trump-friendly neighborhoods.
