New York's 26th State Senate district is one of 63 districts in the New York State Senate. It has been represented by Democrat Brian Kavanagh since his victory in a 2017 special election to replace retiring fellow Democrat Daniel Squadron.[3] Franklin D. Roosevelt, eventual governor and U.S. president, represented this district from 1911-1913 under completely different lines.
