The2004 United States Senate election in New York took place on November 2, 2004, along with elections to theUnited States Senate in other states, as well as thepresidential election, elections to theUnited States House of Representatives, and various state and local elections. Incumbent SenatorChuck Schumer won re-election to a second term with 71.2% of the vote,[1] at the time the highest margin of victory for any statewide candidate in New York's history, and winning every county exceptHamilton.
Schumer's vote share would not be surpassed until2012 when fellow DemocratKirsten Gillibrand won her first full term with 72% of the vote.
TheConservative Party of New York opposedRepublican nomineeAssemblymanHoward Mills, due to his support ofcivil unions andabortion rights.[3] Instead, they supported ophthalmologist Marilyn O'Grady, a failed candidate forNew York's 4th congressional district of theUnited States House of Representatives in2002.
Perennial candidateAbraham Hirschfeld, then 84 years old, ran for the office on a minor party line. It was the last campaign of his life, and he would die less than a year later.
