Incumbent Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli - 536,261

Drew Warshaw – 169,365

Raj Goyle – 116,017

Democratic primary for 102nd Assembly District

Results are districtwide with all election districts reporting.

Janet Tweed – 2,523

Thomas Boomhower – 1,527

Mary Finneran – 1,400

Tweed will appear on the Democratic line on the November ballot against Finneran, who has already secured the Working Families line, and Marc Molinaro, the Republican and Conservative candidate.

The district includes all of Greene and Schoharie counties, along with parts of Albany, Delaware and Otsego counties.

Tweed has been down this road before, prevailing in a 2024 primary against Finneran, but ultimately falling short in the general election to incumbent Chris Tague (R/C-Schoharie), 46,038 to 26,423.

“I’m honored that Democratic primary voters have chosen me to represent them on the ballot this fall,” said Tweed.

“With over 20 years as a practicing physical therapist, and over eight years on local municipal boards, I have the experience necessary to make real, positive change in the Assembly,” she added.

Tague opted not to seek reelection in order to run for State Senate in the 51st District which encompasses Delaware, Otsego, Schoharie, and Sullivan counties. He was challenged in Tuesday’s primary for the Republican line, defeating challenger Terry Bernardo, 6,631 to 5,663.

“This victory is one more step toward giving our communities the strong voice and common-sense fighter we need in Albany,” Tague said Tuesday night.

“I’m grateful, I’m energized, and I’m ready to keep this campaign moving forward. Now we unite, we work, and we win in November,” he said.

Tague will run against Democratic and Working Families party candidate Michele Frazier.

“Thank you to the voters who made tonight’s decisive victory possible,” said Oberacker. “This campaign has always been about giving Upstate New York a real voice in Washington and this is first major step toward flipping this seat in November.”

The 19th Congressional district includes Broome, Chenango, Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Sullivan and Tompkins counties, as well as parts of Cortland, Rensselaer and Ulster counties.
