General Election
ELECTION WAS NOV 3
NY Senate · Senate District 26
Incumbent's lawmaking record meets a platform on policing, schools and the R train
Andrew Gounardes won the seat's last two general elections with 79.1% in 2022 and 78.5% in 2024. Both parties' June 2026 primaries were canceled, so he and Republican Tom Stanten, a retired NYPD detective investigator, go to November without primary contests.
