Incumbent Democrats reelected to Senate in Queens, where they will be joined by first Palestinian elected in New York history

State Sen. Joseph Addabbo celebrated his reelection victory over Conservative Danniel Maio with other Queens leaders at The Alibi in Ozone Park, where Pesach Osina held his watch party on Tuesday night. Addabbo won his race in the 15th Senatorial District by more than 80% of the vote, according to unofficial results from the city’s Board of Elections. 

“I want to thank my supporters for re-electing me back to the Senate. I appreciate your trust in me and I will work my hardest to address your concerns,” Addabbo posted on X. “I look forward to continuing our work together. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your State Senator.”
