Assembly District 62 recorded a 57.5-point Republican presidential margin in 2024, making it a stark outlier in a state where Democrats dominate the legislature. Its rural western New York geography anchors that political tilt.

A population of 134,635, a 79% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $116,507 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Assembly District 64 and Assembly District 9.
