Special election
A special primary election for New York State Senate District 50 was called in 2020. The candidate filing deadline was February 24, 2020, and ballots were scheduled to be certified on March 6, 2020.[5]
This election was originally scheduled on April 28, 2020. On March 28, 2020, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) postponed New York’s presidential preference primary, one Congressional special election, and four state legislative special elections to June 23, 2020, amid concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.[6]
On April 24, 2020, Gov. Cuomo canceled the special elections in a proclamation.[7] Because June 23 was also the statewide primary election date, partisan primary elections for New York State Senate District 50 would have also taken place on the same day as the scheduled special election. The seat remained empty until the general election on November 3, 2020.
The seat became vacant after Bob Antonacci (R) resigned on December 31, 2019, to join the New York Supreme Court 5th Judicial District.[8]
Candidates John Mannion (D, Working Families Party, Serve America Movement Party) and Angi Renna (R, Conservative Party, Independence Party) filed for this race.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of New York scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
