One of the most important races in the region was that of Rensselaer County District Attorney with a scandal riddled incumbent soundly defeated by Mary Pat Donnelly. You can read about it here in the Times Union.
The race also spells the end of Lou Desso's influence in county government with his candidate, Joel Abelove's defeat. It also means there won't be a need for a special prosecutor if an ongoing results in any charges against Desso.
Donnelly's most pressing challenge will be the hiring of a First Assistant DA who normally manages the office calendar. So much of Abelove's troubles resulted from missed court deadlines and defendants having charges dismissed.
The election results can be viewed here. North Greenbush saw Donnelly defeat Abelove 2546 to 1987 carrying 6 of 8 election districts.
