Bynoe defeats Darling in State Senate primary
Nassau County Legislator Siela Bynoe has defeated Assemblywoman Taylor Darling by 800 votes in the contest to see who will succeed Kevin Thomas in the state senate.
“Throughout this campaign I have been so blessed and overwhelmed by the support I’ve received,” Bynoe said. “Today alone we’ve had more than a hundred volunteers knocking on doors and calling their neighbors to come and vote.
“This victory is only a first step, and there is work to be done. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.”
Bynoe has spent the past decade as a county legislator, advocating for mental health services, police reform, affordable housing and education on Long Island.
She will now get ready to face off against Republican Thomas Philip Montefinise in November.
