2008 New York State legislative elections
The 2008 New York State Legislature primary election took place on September 9, 2008,[ 1] and the general election was held on November 4, 2008.[ 2] [ 3] All 150 members of the New York State Assembly [ 4] and all 62 seats of the New York State Senate [ 5] were up for election. Members of the Assembly and the State Senate serve two-year terms.[ 6]
The State Senate was heavily contested, as the Republicans held a 32–30 majority going into the election.[ 7] The election saw the Democrats take control of the State Senate for the first time since 1966 with a 32–30 majority.[ 8] They gained one seat in the State Assembly. Therefore, Democrats held a trifecta in the state for the first time since 1935.
