Democrat Nancy Goroff wins NY primary to challenge Lee Zeldin
Academic Nancy Goroff won the Democratic primary in New York’s 1st District and will challenge Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) in November.
Goroff, the former chair of the chemistry department at Stony Brook University, was declared the winner Wednesday by The Associated Press as she led a four-candidate field with 36.1 percent of the vote.
The primary took place on June 23 but a surge in mailed-in ballots has delayed the results.
Goroff will face Zeldin in November, who’s currently on his third term. The Cook Political Report rates the race as “likely Republican.”
