VICTORY!

WE DID IT!

State Senate - District 15

Joseph Addabbo (Dem) 40084 57.49%
Serphin Maltese (GOP) 29637 42.51%

As of tonight, the Democrats have picked up at least two seats, with two more seats too close to call as of this writing. This means that, thanks to you, Democrats will now hold a majority in the State Senate!

YOU MADE THE DIFFERENCE!

We will now finally be able to take care of some of the more pressing problems facing New Yorkers, without having to worry about the gridlock in Albany that has existed for generations. And it's all because of you!

THANK YOU ALL!!! Now it's time to get to work...

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my campaign website! I am running to represent the 15th District in the State Senate because we need to elect a candidate in November who will be on our side in Albany. I believe that my record demonstrates that I have already gotten real results on the issues that matter most to residents of Queens.

At the City Council, I’ve fought to deliver millions for our local schools, senior centers, parks and playgrounds while voting to cut property taxes and give homeowners a $400 tax rebate for four straight years. In the Senate, I’ll fight to get our schools their fair share of state aid, create new jobs, and hold down taxes and spending.

Please browse this site and find out more information about my record, my vision for the State Senate and some of the ways you can get involved in my campaign. Check back for updates often.

       All the best,

A Vote for Addabbo

For too long, neighborhoods outside of our Manhattan-obsessed city have remained neglected. Councilman Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. recognizes the need for quality transportation and schools that serve families in Queens. We believe his experience and prioritizing of issues that affect the borough’s older and emerging communities make him the right choice for representing District 15 in the New York State Senate.

State Senate District 15 in Queens: Serphin Maltese, the incumbent Republican, is a well-established Albany hand who has routed plenty of money to his mostly Democratic district. After 20 years, however, it is time for someone like Joseph Addabbo to try his hand. Mr. Addabbo, a member of City Council, has said that if Democrats take over, they will not force the same Draconian rules on Republicans that now exist to punish Democrats. That is a good start. We endorse Mr. Addabbo.

New York State's political landscape could dramatically change this fall - and Queens Councilman Joseph Addabbo could be the man who does it.

Democrat Addabbo's anticipated challenge to Queens Republican Sen. Serphin Maltese is seen by his party's leaders as the linchpin race in the quest to seize complete control of Albany for the first time since the 1960s.

"There is no race more important than this one," Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith (D-St. Albans) crowed at a recent Addabbo fund-raiser. "We should all eat, sleep and dream Joe Addabbo Jr.!"
