One Republican Senate incumbent, Senator Frank Padavan of Queens, was defeated,[6] while four Democratic incumbents (Sens. Brian Foley,[7]Antoine Thompson,[8]Darrel Aubertine,[9] and Craig Johnson[4]) were defeated in the general election.[10][1] Democratic candidate David Carlucci was elected to an open seat in Senate District 38[11] that had become vacant due to the July 2010 death of Republican Senator Thomas Morahan.[12] Incumbent Democrat William Stachowski was defeated by Timothy M. Kennedy in a Democratic primary in Senate District 58,[13] and Kennedy prevailed in the general election.[14] The Republicans' takeover of control of the State Senate was not confirmed until Johnson, who had sought a full hand recount of his race, exhausted his final court appeal on December 20, 2010.[4]
