Controller Thomas DiNapoli beat back a tough challenge on Tuesday night to win a full four-year term.
DiNapoli was declared the winner by New York 1 at 1:30 a.m. and quickly put out a victory statement.

DiNapoli, a long time Assembly member from Long Island, was appointed by the Legislature in early 2007 to fill out the term of disgraced Controller Alan Hevesi.
