Sources re-checked September 25, 2026 · How we research

  • Open seat: incumbent Alex Bores (D) is not seeking re-election to the Assembly; he ran for the U.S. House in New York's 12th Congressional District and lost in the June 23, 2026 Democratic primary. Vanessa Aronson (D, WFP) is unopposed on the November ballot; she advanced from the Democratic and Working Families Party lines without a primary after her only would-be opponents withdrew — Nathaniel Gavronsky (Block Mamdani Party) withdrew, and Republican David Casavis withdrew before the canceled Republican primary.[1][2]

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.
