In September 2014, former New York City Comptroller John Liu challenged Avella in the Democratic primary for State Senate District 11; Avella and Liu had previously served together in the City Council, representing neighboring districts, and the two had a strained relationship. Avella ultimately won with 52% of the vote to Liu’s 47%. Liu criticized Avella for joining the IDC; Avella criticized Liu over the latter’s campaign finance scandal that saw two of Liu’s aides convicted, Liu’s failure to pay fines from his earlier campaign for Comptroller, and Liu’s record as Comptroller. Liu was initially supported by the Working Families Party, by the Queens County Democratic Party and by several unions, but these organizations largely dropped their support of Liu when Jeff Klein, leader of the Independent Democratic Conference, announced that its members would rejoin the Senate Democratic Conference after the 2014 elections. After Republicans gained an outright majority in the State Senate in the 2014 elections, the IDC continued to caucus with the Republicans.
