Proposed edits
[edit]I propose to add the following two sentences to the article and am seeking input on them:
- In her leadership role with the NYSACC, Marchione spoke out against Gov. Eliot Spitzer's 2007 plan to allow undocumented immigrants to obtain driver licenses;[1] Spitzer withdrew the proposal under heavy pressure.[2]

[edit]I propose to replace the existing paragraph on Marchione's 2012 Senate election with the following (some of which has been pulled from the Roy McDonald Wikipedia page):
- On April 4, 2012, Marchione announced that she would challenge Sen. McDonald in a Republican primary in Senate District 43.[1] Sen. McDonald had voted for the Marriage Equality Act in 2011[2] after having voted "no" on same-sex marriage legislation in 2009,[3] and Marchione derided McDonald for lacking a consistent conservative voting record.[4][5]
- The Marchione-McDonald primary was variously described as "one of three localized referend[a] on New York's 2011 same-sex marriage law"[6] and as "divisive",[7] "bitter,"[8] and "nasty,"[9] and the results of the race were initially too close to call.[8] Marchione declared victory on September 25, 2012,[7] while Sen. McDonald's campaign announced that the senator was considering his options.[10] Later that week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, weighed in on the race by announcing his support for Sen. McDonald to continue his re-election bid on a third party line.[11]
- Ultimately, Machione defeated McDonald in the primary by 99 votes out of a total of 14,579 votes.[12] Sen. McDonald opted to cease his campaign and throw his support to Marchione.[13] Marchione won the November general election with 47% of the vote, defeating Democrat Robin Andrews (37%) and McDonald (who received 16% of the vote on the Independence Party line despite having suspended his campaign).[14]
