ALBANY - The primarys over and Democrats see a clear path to winning the state Senate and gaining a stranglehold on political power in Albany.
The defeat of a key upstate Republican senator Tuesday has boosted Democratic hopes for victory in November.
We started this election cycle in an excellent position and our excellent position improved markedly, said Queens Sen. Mike Gianaris, leader of the Senate Democrats' campaign committee.
Democrats believe they can win the seat held by Buffalo-area Sen. Mark Grisanti, a moderate Republican and supporter of gay marriage who lost a GOP primary Tuesday to a more conservative challenger, attorney Kevin Stocker.
Grisanti, who also voted in favor of Gov. Cuomos controversial SAFE Act gun control law in 2013, will still appear on the Independence Party line, setting up a four-way contest in November with Stocker, Democrat Marc Panepinto and Conservative Party candidate Timothy Gallagher.
Adding to the optimism were the primary victories of Queens Democrat Leroy Comrie, who defeated indicted Sen. Malcolm Smith; and Jesse Hamilton, who filled the seat left vacant by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams.
Comrie and Hamilton who are all but certain to win election in November would give the mainline Democrats 26 seats. Together with Grisantis seat and the five-member Independent Democratic Conference which has pledged to abandon its previous partnership with the GOP and form a new coalition with the Senate Democrats Democrats would hold at least 32 seats in the Senate's 63-seat chamber.
Dems are assured of maintaining control of the state Assembly, where they have a 2-1 margin, and Gov. Cuomo now that he has defeated pesky primary challenger Zephyr Teachout is overwhelmingly favored to win re-election.
Republicans, meanwhile, still believe they can hold their current seats and knock off enough Democratic incumbents upstate to seize control of the chamber.
"We are going to win a clear majority in November," said Senate GOP spokesman Scott Reif.
