He ran unsuccessfully for the New York Senate in 2000, losing to Frank Padavan. In September 2007, he was named one of ''City Halls "40 under 40" for being a young influential member of New York City politics.〔(Rising Stars 40 Under 40: Rory Lancman ), ''City & State'', September 17, 2007.〕 He was first elected to the State Assembly in 2006, and ran uncontested in the 2008 and 2010 general elections.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Election Results 2008: New York State Legislature )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Election Results 2010: New York State Legislature )〕 In 2012, Lancman sought the Democratic nomination for New York's 6th congressional district. He faced New York City Council member Elizabeth Crowley and fellow Assembly member Grace Meng, and eventually lost to Meng. A large campaign war chest gave Lancman's campaign cause to believe they would emerge the victor, but Meng went on to take it with over 50% of the vote.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= A Breakthrough Candidate and Rising Star )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rory Lancman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
