The 2004 United States Senate election in New York took place on November 2, 2004 along with elections to the United States Senate in other states as well as the presidential election, elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer won re-election to a second term with 71.2% of the vote, a then-record margin of victory for any statewide candidate in New York's history. The record was surpassed by Kirsten Gillibrand when she won re-election to a first full term in 2012 with 72% of the vote.
The Conservative Party of New York opposed Republican nominee Assemblyman Howard Mills due to his support of civil unions and abortion rights. Instead, they supported ophthalmologist Marilyn O'Grady, a failed candidate for the seat representing New York's 4th congressional district United States House of Representatives in 2002.
