Anthony Brindisi

Last month, Brindisi announced he would not run for his old House seat in New York’s 22nd Congressional District.

The Democrat unseated one term Rep. Claudia Tenney in 2018, but lost a rematch with her last year.

“I certainly believe a significant number of their concerns of the federal government, the Department of Justice, are going to be addressed by the actions we're taking and have been taking since the election was concluded.”

"It is time to close the book on this election and focus on building a better community and more united Country for our children.”

Republican Claudia Tenney leads with 109, according to the court’s final tallies, and after the Oneida County certifies its vote count is likely to be sworn into Congress.

If all goes according to the schedule laid out by Justice Scott DelConte, voters in the district can expect to have a representative in Congress next week at the earliest.

Representatives for Republican Claudia Tenney and Democrat Anthony Brindisi must now wait until Friday, at the earliest, to find out which candidate is closer to claiming the seat.

"There’s no doubt in my mind where I’m going with this: every legal vote means every legal vote.”

Brindisi filed his latest election bid for New York’s 22nd Congressional District with the Federal Election Commission on Friday.

It’s unclear just how many hundreds of challenge ballots there are, but with only 12 votes separating the candidates, the court’s rulings on them might determine the race’s outcome.
