There wasn’t much good news for New Yorkers this past election, but there was one bright spot in AD-97<\/a> in Rockland where Mike Lawler<\/a> defeated incumbent<\/a> Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… This morning, the Rockland County Board of Elections<\/a> counted 4,673 of the remaining 5,125 absentee ballots to be counted. After the votes were counted, our lead held at 3,067 votes. With only 452 ballots left to be counted (excluding special federal), our campaign can now declare victory with 100% certainty. In the coming days and weeks, the Board of Elections will finish counting all absentee ballots and certify the election results, so that I can be sworn in on January 1st …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even more remarkable, Lawler won a district that has just over a 2-1 Democrat enrollment advantage.<\/p>\n

Jaffee is a hardcore gun control advocate<\/a> so it’s a blessing she’s going.<\/p>\n
