The New York State Senate’s 49th District map shows a district that includes all of Jefferson County, as well as Fulton, Hamilton, and Lewis counties and portions of Herkimer, Oswego, and St. Lawrence counties.
In 2026, the 49th District is represented by NYS Senator Mark Walczyk, a Republican from Watertown. He’s running for reelection against Democrat Cassie Robbins-Forbus, from Lowville.
