New York's 9th Assembly district had a special election when the Republican in the seat quit to take another job.
That district went for Trump 61-38% last year. The Republican who just left has been there since 2004 and last election won with 69%.
Christine Pellagrino is their new Democratic Assembly member who won with 58%
Could this be a trend?
