We inherited a moderate Democrat from up north, but when he retired in 2015, I went to the meetup he held to introduce his chosen successor. I liked him a lot and made GOTV calls for him. However, he lost that first election to Stefanik and we've been stuck with her ever since even though there were mass protests when she first took office. What I'm trying to say is that New York is a "blue state" due to the overwhelming Democratic votes coming from downstate. Other than mayors, who always seem to be Democrats, most local offices are Republicans running unopposed - so I can sympathize. It rarely takes me much time to vote.
