After Tuesday, the new makeup of the New York state Senate could pave the way for a Democratic takeover.

But the party needs two races to go its way.

Democrat Shelley Mayer is running for an open seat in Westchester County, and Luis Sepulveda is the Democrat running for the open seat in the Bronx.

“Well, I mean, never too confident. Remember what happened with Hillary Clinton and other electeds? We’ve worked like we are behind in the polls,” Sepulveda said. “We’ve worked this community for a long time, so it’s been a great ride. I love community service.”

“It’s important to me that a lot of issues have been unresolved since the budget passed, things like the Child Victims Act — which is important to me — things like criminal justice reform,” Sepulveda said.
