Political party strength in New York
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2021) |
New York is a Democratic stronghold and is considered to be one of the "big three" Democratic strongholds alongside California and Illinois.
The following table indicates the party of elected officials in the U.S. state of New York:
- Governor
- Lieutenant Governor
- Secretary of State (before 1927)
- Attorney General
- State Comptroller
- Treasurer (before 1927)
The table also indicates the historical party composition in the:
- State Senate
- State Assembly
- State delegation to the United States Senate
- State delegation to the United States House of Representatives (also see New York's congressional districts)
For years in which a presidential election was held, the table indicates which party's nominees received the state's electoral votes.
