Joseph Addabbo Projected To Win Forest Hills State Senate Seat: NY1

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — Longtime Queens lawmaker Joseph Addabbo Jr. is projected to win over two Democratic challengers in a race for a Queens state Senate seat, according to NY1.

Preliminary results from NY1, as of 11:28 p.m., with 94.15 percent of the expected vote are:

• Joseph Addabbo, 56.9% (3,865)
• Japneet Singh, 29% (1,972)
• Albert Baldeo, 14.1% (957)

Addabbo has represented the district since 2008, but a recent redistricting saw his home cut from the map, according to the Queens Daily Eagle. But he's allowed to run again because it's a redistricting year.

He faced challenges from Baldeo and Singh.

The district, after the redistricting, now encompasses Forest Hills and parts of Glendale, Ozone Park, Richmond Hill and Woodhaven.
