NY voters hit the polls

Posted: Updated:
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. -

The races for U.S. Senate and Congress are now set in New York after Tuesday's primary elections.

In the Republican primary for the 21st District Congressional seat, Watertown businessman Matt Doheny easily beat Kellie Greene, winning 72 percent of the vote to Greene's 28 percent. That victory earns Doheny a rematch with incumbent Democrat Bill Owens in November.

In the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate, Wendy Long won with 51 percent of the vote against Rep. Bob Turner and George Maragos. Long will take on incumbent Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand in the general election.
