NEW YORK |
Nov. 8,
2022 U.S. Senate |
|
Plurality: 819,410 votes (14.00 percentage points). New York
State Board of Elections
Notes: Sen. Chuck Schumer (D), who is the Senate Majority Leader, won a fifth term defeating Joe Pinion (R), a political commentator and businessman who is Black, and Diane Sare (I), a LaRouche activist who qualified for the ballot by submitting over 45,000 signatures. Disability advocate Tom Quiter (L), who ran for State Senate (District 52) in 2020, failed to make the ballot due to the high signature threshold. Schumer and Pinion debated on Oct. 30 at Union College in Schenectady, hosted by Spectrum News NY1 (>). The Schumer campaign raised $41.1 million, spent $41.7 million and had $10.0 million in cash on hand compared to $588,422 raised, $545,984 spent and $42,438 in cash on hand for the Pinion campaign (>) and $355,125 raised, $349,484 spent and $5,410 in cash on hand for the Sare campaign. The huge advantage allowed Schumer to shift money to his broader effort to maintain the Democratic majority in the Senate. In September, the Schumer committee transferred $5 million to the DSCC and $10 million to key Democratic U.S. Senate campaigns. See also: Burgess Everett.
