'It's a tough city, you know, four to one Democrat enrollment advantage. WAMC Nelligan, who received an in-person endorsement from former gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin in the waning days of the race, believes his team ran an influential campaign. Nelligan spoke with WAMC at Katie O’Byrne’s as his watch party began winding down. What may be McCarthy's most decisive victory to date hasn't dampened Nelligan's spirits. Nelligan became chair of the city’s revived GOP committee in February 2022, and announced his run for mayor the following December. It's the partnership at the other levels of government with our partners at the county level, the business community, organized labor, that have really put a impressive record in place.' 'But at the same time, it's a humbling responsibility, where people have recognized the accomplishments that we have put together, where I happen to be the mayor and have had the opportunity to participate in that take some of the credit for that.

'It's without question a resounding victory,' McCarthy said. Declaring victory at Hibernian Hall, McCarthy tipped his hat to voters he says recognized his accomplishments. Seeking another four years, the mayor ran on his record, which includes annual tax reductions along with redevelopment of the city’s downtown and Mohawk Harbor, a former industrial area now home to the Rivers Casino and other amenities. We virtually won every election district in the city of Schenectady,' said McCarthy. Varno, a retired Schenectady firefighter, finished a distant third with 363 votes. McCarthy trounced opponents Republican Matt Nelligan and Ed Varno of the Working Families Party Tuesday, racking up 4,211 votes to Nelligan's 1,983.

Democratic Schenectady Mayor Gary McCarthy is heading to a fourth term.
