Laura Gillen unseated Representative Anthony D’Esposito, a first-term Republican, on Long Island. Her campaign focused on abortion and the border.

Republican incumbent Anthony D’Esposito was defeated in his bid for reelection in New York’s 4th Congressional District, losing to Democrat Laura Gillen, according to AP. D’Esposito faced allegations of improprieties following a New York Times report in September the freshman lawmaker gave taxpayer-funded jobs to his fiancee’s daughter and another woman described as his lover.

Gillen’s win puts a dent into Republicans’ recent gains across Long Island. Last year, Republicans won the Suffolk County executive seat. And D’Esposito’s 2022 victory flipped a seat that Democrats had held for nearly three decades.
