NY 10th Assembly District: Steve Stern Looks To Fend Off Aamir Sultan

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY — Assemblyman Steve Stern (D—Melville) will look to win his fourth election to the New York State 10th Assembly District since 2018. His challenger this year is Republican Aamir Sultan. The two will vie for Stern's seat on Nov. 8.

The candidates:

• Steve Stern (Incumbent, Democrat)
• Aamir Sultan (Republican)

Stern first won election to the state assembly in a special election in April 2018 when he defeated Janet Smitelli. Stern replaced Chad Lupinacci, who resigned from the state assembly to become the Town of Huntington supervisor, according to Ballotpedia. This marked a transition from Republican to Democrat in the state's 10th Assembly District, as Lupinacci had held the seat for years.

Stern defeated Jeremy Williams months later to retain his spot.

In 2020, Stern defeated Republican challenger Jamie Silvestri to keep his seat.

Stern will look to win his fourth election to the assembly when he faces a fresh challenger in Sultan. Sultan is also representing the Conservative Party.

The 10th district covers Huntington, South Huntington, Huntington Station, Huntington Bay, Cold Spring Harbor, Lloyd Harbor, Dix Hills, West Hills, Melville, and part of East Farmingdale.
