Election results

In 2008, Michael Arcuri won the election with 130,799 votes (9,454 from Working Families Party line) to Richard L. Hanna's 120,880 out of 282,114 total votes. Note that in New York State electoral politics there are several minor parties at various points on the political spectrum. Certain parties will invariably endorse either the Republican or Democratic candidate for every office, hence the state electoral results contain both the party votes, and the final candidate votes (Listed as "Recap").
