Blue waves are for other places; Oneida, Herkimer counties voted red

The Mohawk Valley loves red, whether it’s in fall leaves, on the Utica Comets’ uniforms or top of a delicious tomato pie. They also love a lot of red in their politics. Voters in Oneida and Herkimer counties launched a red resistance to the blue tsunami that swept across much of the country on Election Day, voting overwhelmingly for Republican candidates for federal, state and local offices. Voters in Oneida and Herkimer counties overwhelmingly elected Republicans to county and municipal offices as well as state seats contained within the counties. And they strongly favored Republicans in statewide elections and for seats in districts that crossed county lines. Two seats in Oneida County did flip in the election, but to Republicans. Incumbent Sheriff Rob Maciol, a Democrat, lost his re-election bid to Republican Jared Pearl. And Republican Mike Gentile won the seat currently held by Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon — a Democrat who did not seek reelection — in the 119 th Assembly District against Jon Lipe. “What stands out to me is how Oneida County has become more Republican in recent years,” said Luke Perry, distinguished professor of political science at Utica University. “When Anothony Brindisi won the county (and NY-22)
