The New York State Senate was a battleground chamber that Ballotpedia identified as having the opportunity to switch partisan control in 2014. The New York Senate had a difference in partisan balance between Democrats and Republican of three seats, or 4.8 percent of the chamber. District 60 in the Senate was identified by Ballotpedia and WKBW-TV in Buffalo as a battleground district that could determine control of the New York State Senate. This race heated up following the Republican primary in which incumbent Mark Grisanti was defeated by Kevin T. Stocker. Political analyst Bob Davis explained that the race "could put the balance of power for the New York State Senate up for grabs come November." At the time of the race, the district was made up of about 86,000 Democrats, 51,000 Republicans and 9,700 independents.[4] Marc C. Panepinto (D) defeated Stocker (R), Grisanti (I) and Timothy D. Gallagher (C) in the general election.
