Voters from Pittsford to Livingston County have elected Republican Marjorie Byrnes to represent them in in New York State’s 133^rd Assembly District, earning 55 percent of the votes to Baer's 42 percent. 

Baer ran against Joe Errigo in 2016 but lost; Byrnes defeated Errigo in the Republican primary earlier this year.

Errigo remained on the ballot despite both losing the primary and facing bribery and wire fraud charges after accepting $5,500 to introduce legislation. He won just 3 percent of the vote. 

Byrnes is a former prosecutor and assistant district attorney.

Baer has worked as a lawyer and social worker, serving as the associate commissioner for the state Office of Mental Health in the 1980s.

“I am so proud and humbled to be your assemblywoman-elect,” Byrnes said to supporters. “It was almost a year ago that I began this race, thinking and believing that the 133^rd district needed a voice in the lower house of our government in Albany. As I campaigned, I gave my word that I would fight for our values and for our region. Tonight, I can tell you that whether you’re a college student, parent, farmer, small businessman, your voice will be heard in the halls of the legislature.”

Her challenger, Baer, said her defeat was despite winning in Monroe County. 

"Apparently I could not effectively get the argument through to people in Livingston, I won in Monroe," she said. "But to be in the majority party, which I would have been, and to be able to make deals on behalf of the people of the district to make life better is really what I wanted to do. So I won't be able to do it, I hope she can do what she can, I wish her well, I love the district and will continue to help."
