Breezing past their challengers: Representative Gregory W. Meeks, of the Fifth District, which covers a large chunk of Queens and parts of Nassau County; Representative Nydia M. Velázquez, of the Seventh, which includes parts of northern Brooklyn and Queens; Representative Jerrold L. Nadler, of the 10th, which runs down the West Side of Manhattan and into southern Brooklyn; Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, of the 12th, which straddles the East River to cover eastern Manhattan, waterfront Queens and northern Brooklyn; and Representative José E. Serrano, of the 15th, in the Bronx.

1. I was thrilled to see this tonight!

... a fantastic candidate, one of the Bernie Sanders supported progressives, who wrote the book on today's political corruption. We will be working hard to make sure she wins in November!

2. I wish I could vote for her; unfortunately, she's not in my district. I'll still donate.

4. She'll probably run for Senate one day

Hard slog against Katko or any Republican. The district has historically voted for a Republican representative for many years.

5. And Suozzi won in the 3rd.

Hopefully he can win the GE and hold that seat.
