Ulrich ran in the 2012 election for New York State Senate District 15. He defeated Juan D. Reyes in the Republican primary on September 13, 2012. He also defeated Joseph Tiraco in the Independence Party primary. Ulrich was defeated by incumbent Joseph Addabbo (D) in the general election, which took place on November 6, 2012.
The New York Times dubbed the race between Addabbo and Ulrich, "one of the tightest and most expensive in the state, ratcheted up by an influx of outside dollars and mailers from groups eager to swing the district."[4]

Ulrich provided the following candidate statement for the New York City voter guide:
| " |
I am running for my last and final term and consider it a great honor to represent so many wonderful neighborhoods and families in Queens. On a daily basis, I strive to serve all the people my district, regardless of party affiliation, to the very best of my ability. I am very proud of my legislative record and the millions of taxpayer dollars I have been able to secure for local schools, parks, senior centers and libraries in our community. But my main focus will always be putting my constituents first. I still believe that it is possible to make a difference by helping just one person at a time, and that is what I set out to do. The voters of the 32nd district have put their trust in me and I hold that trust in the highest regard. With your support, I look forward to fighting the good fight on your behalf for four more years![5][6] |
