NY Senate Republicans plagued by retirements ahead of 2020
Nearly a third of New York’s state Senate Republicans are calling it quits ahead of the 2020 election, ceding ground to Democrats keen on pushing the Empire State further to the left.
Seven GOP senators out of 23 members are jumping ship, with the latest retirement announcement coming Wednesday from upstate Sen. Joe Robach (R-Rochester).
He follows departing Sens. Michael Razenhofer (R-Buffalo), Betty Little (R-Queensbury), George Amedore (R-Kingston) and freshman Bob Antonacci (R-Syracuse), who will vacate his seat for a Syracuse-area judgeship.
Sens. Chris Jacobs (R-Buffalo) and Rob Ortt (R-Lockport), who are running for Congress, are also possibly on their way out.
