Democrats won big across the country, and New York City has elected some big champions.

Huge congratulations to our Governor @KathyHochul, AG @TishJames, and Lt. Governor-elect @AdrienneEAdams!

Today is an important day to make our voices heard, vote for Democrats up & down the ballot, and reject Trump by taking back the House & Senate. We can play a part in sending a big message today. Polls close at 9 PM; you can find your polling location at: vote.org!
