NYC Wire: Democrat Wins 65th AD Special Election

Not that it's news.

Democrat Micah Kellner defeated Republican Gregory Camp in a special election to replace Assemblyman Alexander Pete Grannis in the 65th Assembly District which includes the Upper East Side of Manhattan east of 3 Avenue between 60th and 90th Streets, and Roosevelt Island.

The big news in the race was The New York Times endorsement of the Republican candidate, which shocked many.

Still, the staunchly Democratic district send a Democrat to the Assembly 64%-36%. Now, for the first time since January, the entire Assembly is filled without any vacanies and Democrats hold a 108-42 majority.
