He secured 81% of the votes, while his challenger, Monroe County Legislature Mercedes Vazquez Simmons, had 18% of the votes.

For the 130th Assembly District in Wayne County and Webster, a new Republican candidate has been chosen after Assembly Member Brian Manktelow decided not to seek re-election. Attorney George Dobbins secured 39% of the vote in the Republican primary, beating former Marion Town Supervisor Summer Johnson (33%) and Monroe County Legislature Mark Johns (28%).
However, it’s a tight race to decide which Democratic candidate will face off against Dobbins in November. Former Sodus Town Chair Carl Fitzsimmons is leading by only 49 votes against Williamson Planning Board Member Joseph Lamanna, with 97% of the votes in on Wednesday morning.
For the 54th Senate District, encompassing several counties in the Finger Lakes region, small business owner Michael Mills has secured the Democratic nomination to run against Senator Pam Helming. Mills secured 52% of the vote, while alpaca farm owner Scott Comegys secured 48%. Helming has served as a state senator since 2017.
This was a contentious year in Albany, with the state budget delayed by eight weeks due to debates over lawsuit reform, green energy goals, and other policies. Both chambers of the state legislature finally passed the budget in late May.
