State Sen.-elect Martha Hennessey, D-Hanover, said there was merit to Howard’s assessment of Trump’s victory, but she saw other factors playing a role as well.
“I think there was a rallying cry for ‘non-Washington’ people and (as being part of Washington for more than 20 years) Hillary can’t do anything about that,” said Hennessey, who defeated Marie Lozito, R-Claremont, for the District 5 Senate seat which includes several Sullivan County towns. Hennessey narrowly won in Claremont, but handily won the rest of the district, which stretches from Lyme to Charlestown.
As far as the Claremont presidential results, Hennessey said they reflected a mood seen in many other parts of the country that propelled Trump to victory.

(3rd-party candidates received 31.6% of vote in 1992, 15.4% of vote in 1996)
Perhaps the bloom is off the Trump rose. In the U.S. Senate race, Democrat incumbent Kristen Gillibrand's won 53.3% of the vote to Republican challenger Chele Farley 46.7%. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, on the other hand, lost the county by 10.2 percentage point, but he's not an Upstate fav. (Upstate New York, as I learned while attending college at the SUNY-Buffalo, is anything north of the Bronx.)
