  • Incumbent Jordan Wright defeated Conrad Blackburn 53.9% to 45.7% in the June 23, 2026 Democratic primary. Blackburn had also won the Working Families Party primary and would have appeared on the WFP line in the general election, but as of this guide's research Ballotpedia lists him among 'withdrawn or disqualified' candidates for the November general election, leaving Wright unopposed on the ballot. The Republican primary was canceled with no candidate.[1]

Issue evidence — side by side

Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits

Wright has not completed a 2026 Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (his most detailed public statements are from his 2024 survey, cited here) and his official Assembly press page listed no press releases as of research. He has been in office only since January 2025, so his official voting/bill record is thin; only two contested 2026 floor votes were found in the roll-call snapshot this guide draws on. Depth is marked 'basic' accordingly, though he is unopposed for re-election.
