The 2010 New York state elections took place on November 2, 2010. These included elections for both Senate seats and a gubernatorial election.
Due to the special election for US Senate, all of New York's six statewide offices were up for popular election on the same date. At the same time, all 29 members from New York of the U.S. House of Representatives, all 212 members of the New York State legislature, and many other local officers were elected.
The Democratic Party swept all of the statewide races, but Republicans made net gains of six seats in the House of Representatives, nine seats in the state Assembly (breaking the veto-proof Democratic supermajority in that chamber) and two seats in the New York State Senate, the last of which delivered the Senate chamber back to the Republican Party.

Famous quotes containing the words york and/or state:
“New York has never learnt the art of growing old by playing on all its pasts. Its present invents itself, from hour to hour, in the act of throwing away its previous accomplishments and challenging the future. A city composed of paroxysmal places in monumental reliefs.”
—Michel de Certeau (19251986)
“Whoso taketh in hand to frame any state or government ought to presuppose that all men are evil, and at occasions will show themselves so to be.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (15521618)
