Asm. Landon C. Dais
Landon C. Dais represents AD-77, a heavily Democratic district with a D+66 registration lean and a base electoral model of D+75, rated Safe D across all 2026 scenario projections; first elected in 2023, Dais won his 2024 general election with 74.4% of the vote against Norman Sobe McGill, a 53.8-point margin — notably lower than the margins the seat's previous holders posted, though the district's Democratic dominance remains firmly intact. AD-77 is a high-density urban Bronx district characterized by a 72.2% Democratic registration share, a 33.1% poverty rate, a median household income of $38,763, a 6.3% homeownership rate, and a racial composition of 38.6% Black and 59.5% Hispanic residents. In the 2025 session Dais sponsored 27 bills, with his heaviest concentration in Executive law (4 bills), Veterans' Service (3 bills), and Cannabis (2 bills), reflecting a legislative focus spanning government administration, military family access, and cannabis regulatory reform. Top lobbying sectors active in his district context and the overlapping policy areas of his sponsorship portfolio — particularly cannabis and public authorities — represent areas of potential outside influence worth monitoring.AI

Vulnerability Index AD-77
Base lean: D+75
- Limited contested election data — registration lean used as primary signal
Scenario model: ±5pt national environment shift applied to district base lean (D+75). Base lean blends voter registration (40%) with recent contested general election margins (60%), using up to the last 4 general elections with margins under 40 points. Ratings: Safe D/R = 15+ pts, Likely = 8–14 pts, Lean = 3–7 pts, Toss-up = within 2 pts (Assembly districts are smaller and more homogeneous than Senate districts, so tighter thresholds are used). Generic ballot from Silver Bulletin (Nate Silver), as of 10/20/2026. Not a prediction — reflects structural competitiveness under different cycle environments.
