2024 United States House of Representatives elections in New York

The 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in New York were held on November 5, 2024, to elect the 26 U.S. representatives from the State of New York, one from each of the state's 26 congressional districts. The elections coincided with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections were held on June 25, 2024.

Democrats flipped three seats held by Republicans, and a total of four from the previous election (one of which they flipped in a special election earlier in 2024), despite the concurrent presidential election in the state swinging the most towards Republicans of any state in the nation.

2020–2024 redistricting process

Following the 2020 census, New York lost one congressional seat and its Independent Redistricting Commission (I.R.C.) attempted to draw a new map. However, they could not reach an agreement on the map, and the Democratic-dominated New York State Legislature drew their own new Congressional map. In April 2022, in the lead-up to the 2022 midterms, the New York State Court of Appeals struck down the map as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander that failed to follow the proper procedures. The Court then appointed an Independent Special Master to create a new map.

In the 2022 House election in New York, under the new map, the Republican Party flipped 3 seats, bringing the new seat count of 15 for the Democrats and 11 held by Republicans. In March 2023, New York Democrats challenged the new map, deeming it incorrect for the Court to draw the map, claiming that the job lies solely with the Legislature and I.R.C. In July 2023, an intermediate appeals court ruled that the I.R.C. must create another new map for the 2024 House Elections. The New York State Republicans challenged the ruling to the Court of Appeals, who ruled on December 12, 2023, that the maps must be redrawn by the legislature and I.R.C. for the 2024 elections. On February 27, 2024, the New York State Legislature voted to reject the bipartisan map and instead favored redrawing the map for Democrats. On February 28, 2024, the state legislature passed a new map, resulting in the 3rd, 18th, and 22nd congressional districts becoming more Democratic, while the 1st became more Republican. The map was signed by Governor Kathy Hochul on the same day.

Overview

District 1

The 1st district is based on the eastern end and North Shore of Long Island, including the Hamptons, the North Fork, Riverhead, Port Jefferson, Smithtown, and Huntington, all in Suffolk County. The incumbent was Republican Nick LaLota, who was elected with 55.51% of the vote in 2022. George Santos, who was expelled from Congress in December 2023, announced a Republican primary challenge to LaLota in this seat, announcing his run as a Republican during Joe Biden's 2024 State of the Union Address. On March 22, 2024, Santos announced that he was withdrawing from the Republican primary and would instead run as an Independent candidate. On April 23, 2024, Santos withdrew from the race entirely.

The incumbent was Republican George Santos, who flipped the district and was elected with 53.76% of the vote in 2022. Santos had faced heavy calls to resign following revelations that he fabricated a majority of his résumé, including from the Nassau County Republican Party.

On May 10, 2023, Santos was arrested on federal charges of fraud and money laundering.

On November 16, 2023, in light of the House Ethics Committee report finding that there was "substantial evidence" that he "violated federal criminal laws," Santos announced that he would no longer be seeking re-election. On December 1, Santos was expelled from Congress.

On February 13, 2024, former U.S. Representative Tom Suozzi defeated Republican nominee Mazi Melesa Pilip in the special election to finish Santos's term. He won election to a full term in November by 3.6%, defeating Mike LiPetri.

The 16th district is based in southern Westchester County, including Yonkers, White Plains, New Rochelle, and Rye. It also includes Co-op City in the Bronx. The incumbent was Democrat Jamaal Bowman, who was elected with 64.30% of the vote in 2022. He faced a challenge in the Democratic primary from George Latimer, the Westchester County executive.

Democratic primary

Incumbent U.S. Representative Jamaal Bowman, who was accused of being antisemitic and had been a frequent critic of U.S. support for Israel amidst the Gaza-Israel conflict, was challenged by pro-Israel Westchester County Executive George Latimer in the Democratic primary. The New York Times branded the contest "a marquee showcase of [the Democratic] party's divisions over the Israel-Hamas war".

The primary was the most expensive House of Representatives primary in U.S. history, with over $14 million in outside spending benefiting Latimer's campaign. Much of the outside spending came from groups affiliated with the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Latimer defeated Bowman, 58.59% to 41.41%.

In a surprising twist, political enthusiast Anthony Frascone successfully rallied Rockland County voters to vote for him in the Working Families primary and defeated Democratic nominee Mondaire Jones. Aside from Frascone's effort, the turnout for the primary in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess was almost entirely non-existent. Following Frascone's primary win, Working Families Party leaders called him a fake candidate and accused him of having stolen the party's ballot line to help Republican Mike Lawler win the general election.
