Incumbents won big in the Senate and House of Representatives races on NYC ballots on Tuesday.

Sen. Chuck Schumer was re-elected, defeating Republican Wendy Long. In the House of Representatives, all the incumbents on the ballots took the victory. But in the 3rd and 13th districts, where the current representatives are retiring, voters elected new representatives.
