2022 New York governor’s race general election results

Polls are closed, returns have come in and the people of New York have spoken. Despite a rocky road to this point, Democrats have won their statewide races, including the contentious contest for governor.

Gov. Kathy Hochul declared victory late Tuesday night after a heated race against Rep. Lee Zeldin, making her the first woman ever elected in New York. The polls had tightened in the final weeks of the campaign, leading to national attention to the race that attracted major figures from both parties stumping for the two candidates.

It was also a good night for other statewide candidates, who similarly declared victory on the same stage as Hochul before her. U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer made his victory speech just moments after the polls closed, with state Attorney General Letitia James making her own speech later in the evening. Addressing his own supporters, Zeldin declined to concede on election night.

In addition to those high profile races, New Yorkers approved the Environmental Bond Act. It will give the state access to $4.2 billion for use toward climate and environmental initiatives. Environmental advocates campaigned in favor of the ballot initiative and spent heavily on education efforts.

The polls closed at 9 p.m., and these results will be updated throughout the night.
