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.
