Incumbent Alexis Weik (R-Sayville) easily defeated her Democratic challenger Francis Dolan, with 66.67% of the vote compared to Dolan’s (33.3%).
The 8th State Senate District encompasses a portion of Suffolk County’s South Shore that constitutes territory from Weik’s native Sayville to Massapequa.
Weik first assumed office in 2021, originally representing the third district before maps were thoroughly revised in 2023.
After securing the victory on Election night, Weik posted to social media: “A tremendous THANK YOU to everyone who endorsed me, supported me, campaigned with me and VOTED!! May God Bless you all and May God Bless our Great state and nation.”
