ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Republican Mike Lawler defeated Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney in New York City’s northern suburbs. And the GOP swept all four House seats on Long Island, as the party closed in on its largest share of the state’s congressional delegation in two decades. Two races were too early to call Wednesday. But Republicans’ strong showing in the suburbs have helped them win at least 10 of the 26 seats New York will have in Congress next year, two more than their current representation in what is now a 27-seat delegation.
