New York State Senate 43rd District

New York State Senate 43rd District

=Candidates=

Joseph Bruno has vacated his position as New York State Senator for the 43rd District. A number of candidates from two major political parties and three minor ones are running for this seat. The Democratic and Republican candidates will be conducting a primary election to determine who the nominees for those two parties will be in the general election this November.

For the Democrats, Michael Russo and Brian Premo are running for that party's nomination. The Republican Party will be holding a primary to see if either Roy McDonald or Ray Seney will receive the nomination for that party. Roy McDonald has already received endorsements for the Independence and Conservative Parties. The Working Families Party will be hosting a primary to determine whether to nominate Brian Premo or Christopher Consuello.

The primaries are all scheduled to take place on September 9, 2008.

The general election is scheduled for November, 2008, and is considered to be historic in many respects. For one, there is no incumbent candidate. For another, the current composition of the New York Senate is split roughly down the middle between Democrats and Republicans. Should the Democratic candidate win the general election for this district, the Senate Majority leadership will pass to the Democrats for the first time in 6 decades. If the Republicans win, the Senate will remain under their control. The party with a majority in the Senate sets the agenda for issues to be voted upon during any legislative session, and therefore is highly prized by both parties.
