Election season buzzed with anticipation in Onondaga County as supporters gathered to see who’d win their respective seats. Republican Bob Antonacci celebrated a win for Sen. John DeFrancisco’s seat during the GOP’s annual election; congressional incumbent John Katko’s stop at Our Lady of Pompei Church’s spaghetti dinner ended up being a good-luck charm to inch a 6 percent victory over Democratic challenger Dana Balter; Rachel May, who shut out David Valesky in the Democratic primary for the 53rd District, used her momentum to win the final run; and Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh was also spotted with new County Executive Ryan McMahon during the daylong pasta feast.
