2026 United States House of Representatives elections in New York
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An election will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the 26 U.S. representatives from the State of New York, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary election took place on June 23, 2026. As the state of New York has closed primary elections, only registered party members are allowed to vote in each party's primary.[1]

Progressive and DSA candidates in New York City had a successful primary night, defeating more establishment and pro-Israel Democratic incumbents in the 10th and 13th districts and winning the open 7th district in a landslide, in what was described as a "clean sweep" and a show of strength for Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America.[2][3][4]
Failed redistricting attempt
Background
Voters in NY-11 filed a lawsuit in October 2025, claiming the Staten Island-based district illegally dilutes the power of Black and Hispanic voters in the district.[5] Acting New York Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Pearlman ordered the independent redistricting commission to make new maps to reconfigure NY-11 by February 6, 2026.[6] The deadline was suspended after Rep. Malliotakis, who represents the district, appealed the ruling.[7] On March 2, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocked Pearlman's order, allowing the state's current map to be used for the 2026 election.[8]

The 7th district is based in Brooklyn and Queens, including the neighborhoods of Clinton Hill, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bushwick, Woodhaven, Maspeth, Sunnyside, and Long Island City. The district is currently represented by Democrat Nydia Velázquez, who was elected with 78.1% of the vote in 2024.[9] Velázquez is not seeking re-election.
Democratic primary
The contest for the 7th district began in November 2025 after longtime incumbent Nydia Velázquez, who had served since 1993, announced her decision to retire.[114] Velázquez, a longtime reformer who was staunchly opposed to the political machine associated with the Brooklyn Democratic Party, had cultivated strong ties with the New York City Democratic Socialists of America (NYC-DSA) in her latter years in office, and with the 7th having a reputation as one of the most left-wing congressional districts in the country it was believed by analysts such as Trip Yang that the organization would seek to have one of its own elected as Velázquez's successor.[114]
Velázquez initially remained neutral in the race, a decision attributed by political analyst Michael Lange to her belief that the NYC-DSA would select either state senator Julia Salazar or New York City Councilor Tiffany Cabán as their standard-bearer.[115] However, Salazar had no interest in running, and Cabán's brief attempt to was shut down by the newly elected mayor of New York Zohran Mamdani, a member of the NYC-DSA himself, due to her having been reluctant to support Mamdani's mayoral run.[115][116] Instead, Mamdani and the NYC-DSA selected first-term state assemblywoman Claire Valdez, who had been one of the mayor's earliest and most enthusiastic endorsers, as their candidate.[117] Velázquez, who had very little relationship with Valdez, viewed this as unacceptable.[116] She instead threw her support behind Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, an anti-machine progressive who had been one of her longtime protégés.[118]
Two other candidates, New York City Councillor Julie Won and public defender Vichal Kumar, also made the primary ballot for the election, but were considered to have no chance of winning.[115][119] While Valdez and Reynoso were ideologically similar, with both wanting to abolish the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency and denouncing the Gaza genocide, their contest quickly become a proxy conflict between the NYC-DSA and the Working Families Party (WFP), which backed Reynoso.[115][117] Michael Lange opined that both organisations were fighting over which would have the leading role in New York City's progressive left, with the insurgent NYC-DSA seeking to supplant the more traditional WFP.[120]

Valdez defeated Reynoso by a margin that was a surprise to observers such as Michael Lange, the state assemblywoman winning by over 20 percentage points.[183] Valdez won throughout the district, but her strongest areas were in Queens, especially Ridgewood, and the Brooklyn neighborhoods of East Williamsburg and Bushwick.[113][183] Reynoso's only strong performances were in the predominantly Latino neighborhood of Cypress Hills and among Satmar voters in South Williamsburg.[113] Such was the scale of Valdez's victory that she even won the neighborhood of Los Sures, which had been Reynoso's place of birth and longtime stronghold.[113]

The 8th district is based in Southern and Eastern Brooklyn, including the neighborhoods of Bed-Stuy, Brownsville, East New York, Canarsie, Bergen Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend, and Coney Island. This district is currently represented by Democrat Hakeem Jeffries, the Minority Leader in the House, who was re-elected with 75.4% of the vote in 2024.[9]
Democratic primary
Incumbent Jeffries had represented the 8th district since 2013, and had been elected leader of the House Democratic Caucus in 2022 following the retirement of Nancy Pelosi. Since then he had served as House minority leader in the face of a Republican-controlled House of Representatives, becoming along with his Senate counterpart Chuck Schumer one of the most high-profile Democrats during the Second Trump administration.[186] Jeffries had however faced criticism, especially from more progressive Democrats, for the perception that he was a stodgy and awkward opposition figure, unable to adequately oppose congressional Republicans and President Trump.[186]
Seeking to exploit this perceived vulnerability was New York City Councilor Chi Ossé, the youngest member of the Council, who had gained a profile after passing prominent tenant rights legislation.[187] Ossé represented Bedford-Stuyvesant on the Council, an area which was young, gentrifying and had shown an appetite for insurgent left-wing politics.[188] A member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Ossé sought to capitalise on the group's recent success in the 2025 New York mayoral election and mobilise them for a primary campaign against Jeffries.[189]
However, his campaign was considered to have almost no chance of succeeding. While Jeffries had faced left-wing criticism for his performance as House Democratic leader he had opposed all major Republican legislation passed during the 119th Congress, unlike his Senate counterpart Schumer, and had remained scandal-free.[186][188] He maintained a very strong base of support in the mainly African-American neighbourhoods of Canarsie and East New York, which had consistently backed moderate candidates in Democratic primaries and which Ossé had not represented in elected office.[188] Jeffries also had effectively unlimited resources and institutional support as the House Democratic leader, and left-wing groups were extremely reluctant to endorse against him out of fear of damaging their relationships with the wider Democratic Party.[188] These skeptics included some of the most prominent DSA officials in New York City, such as mayor Zohran Mamdani and U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who actively lobbied the group to not endorse Ossé.[189]
On November 22, 2025, the New York City branch of the DSA voted against endorsing Ossé's campaign, effectively leaving him without the support to continue running.[190] Ossé ended his campaign two weeks later, all but ensuring that Jeffries would win another term in office.[191]

Clarke comfortably prevailed in the primary, winning nearly 70% of the vote while the remainder was split evenly between Goldfarb and Bristol.[113] Clarke won most precincts throughout the district, but her strongest area of support was in East Flatbush, where she lived.[113] Goldfarb's strength was primarily concentrated among Hasidic Jews, allowing him to win numerous precincts in Borough Park and Midwood.[113] Despite winning an almost identical number of votes to Goldfarb, Bristol's support was more diffused throughout the district, and he did not win any precincts. His strongest neighborhoods were Flatbush and Crown Heights.[113]

The 10th district is based in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, including the neighborhoods of Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn Gowanus, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Red Hook, Sunset Park, Alphabet City, East Village, the Lower East Side, Greenwich Village, and the Financial District. The district is currently represented by Democrat Dan Goldman, first elected in 2022, who was re-elected with 82.3% of the vote in 2024.[9] He faced a primary challenge by former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who has positioned himself as the more progressive candidate. Lander won the primary on June 24, 2026.[205]
Democratic primary
Goldman, the incumbent representative, was widely viewed as vulnerable to a primary challenge coming into the 2026 electoral cycle.[206] While generally considered a progressive Democrat, Goldman had only narrowly won the Democratic primary in 2022 with 26% of the vote against a split field of more left-wing candidates, and his re-election campaign in 2024 was considered by analysts such as David Weigel to have been unimpressive, with the congressman winning only 66% of the primary vote against two low-profile challengers.[206][207] Goldman's electoral struggles were attributed in part to his support for Israel, which had become extremely unpopular among left-wing voters as a result of the Gaza war.[206]
These left-wing concerns were heightened following the 2025 New York City mayoral election. In the Democratic primary for that election, pro-Palestine democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani defeated moderate, pro-Israel Andrew Cuomo handily, in a performance which included defeating Cuomo by 23 percentage points in the 10th district.[207] In the ensuing general election, where Cuomo ran as an independent, Goldman refused to endorse Mamdani due to the latter's pro-Palestine stance.[206] Mamdani nevertheless again prevailed, winning the 10th district by 25 percentage points. Goldman's refusal to endorse Mamdani made him an immediate target of the progressive and socialist forces that had backed the incoming mayor, and also showcased the lack of influence he had over voters in his district.[208]
Following Mamdani's victory, emboldened progressives began searching for a candidate to challenge Goldman. Brad Lander, the outgoing New York City Comptroller who had finished third in the mayoral primary behind Mamdani and Cuomo and had cross-endorsed Mamdani in the latter stages of the campaign, was considered a strong candidate both because he had wide name recognition from his service as Comptroller and because despite finishing a distant third in the mayoral primary he had performed well in the 10th district itself, where he took 23% of the first-preference vote.[209] However, Lander was not immediately able to unite the left behind him; NYC Councilor Alexa Avilés had also been considering a challenge to Goldman and had secured the endorsement of the New York City Democratic Socialists of America after forming an exploratory committee to do so.[210] Mamdani, however, intervened to support Lander, making it known to Avilés that he would endorse the former Comptroller if he ran.[210]
Lander announced that he would be challenging Goldman on December 10, 2025, with Mamdani's backing.[211] Perceiving no chance of winning without Mamdani's support, Avilés withdrew the next day.[211][212] Lander immediately became the prohibitive frontrunner, with polls showing him beating Goldman by over 20 percentage points.[206] Lander primarily attacked Goldman for not doing enough to oppose the actions of the Trump administration and Israeli government, and for not endorsing Mamdani's general election campaign.[213][208]

Results
In line with polling, Lander easily defeated Goldman by a margin of over 30 percentage points. His victory was called by media outlets only five minutes after polling stations had closed.[265] Lander easily won the neighborhoods of Brownstone Brooklyn that had been his longtime base, and also defeated Goldman in Lower Manhattan, which had been the incumbent's base in the 2022 primary.[113] Goldman's only areas of strength were the Haredi enclave of Borough Park and a few richer areas in Lower Manhattan such as Battery Park City, as well as the working-class Two Bridges.[113]

The 11th district includes all of Staten Island as well as the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Fort Hamilton, Dyker Heights, Bath Beach, and Bensonhurst. The incumbent is Republican Nicole Malliotakis, who was re-elected with 64.1% of the vote in 2024.[9]
A decision by a judge on New York's trial court to declare the district's lines unconstitutional was upheld by the intermediate appeals court in February 2026.[269]
On March 2, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a stay blocking implementation of the lower court ruling pending further litigation.[270]

District 12

The 12th district is entirely based in Manhattan, comprising the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Midtown, Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, Murray Hill, and Gramercy. The incumbent is Democrat Jerry Nadler, who was re-elected with 80.6% of the vote in 2024.[9] He is not running for re-election in 2026.
Democratic primary
Incumbent congressman Jerry Nadler, who had served in the House of Representatives since 1992, announced his retirement on September 2, 2025.[281] Nadler, who was already facing a primary challenge from non-profit executive Liam Elkind, declared that he had decided to retire after witnessing the collapse of the 2024 re-election campaign of Joe Biden due to concerns over the former President's health, and that he felt it was time for a younger politician to represent the 12th district.[281]
An extremely large field of candidates almost immediately entered the race to replace Nadler.[282] As the 12th district was safely Democratic, the open seat represented a rare opportunity for local politicians to gain a congressional seat they could not be easily unseated from.[282] Several prominent candidates, such as Elkind, New York City Councilor Erik Bottcher, and left-wing activist Cameron Kasky initially joined the race, but withdrew well before the primary as mounting costs and outside spending caused it to become the second-most expensive House primary in history.[283][284]
As the primary campaign drew on, four main candidates emerged for the seat. These were Upper West Side state assemblyman Micah Lasher, Upper East Side state assemblyman Alex Bores, lawyer George Conway, and Jack Schlossberg, a social media influencer and member of the Kennedy family.[282] Lasher, who had the endorsement of the outgoing Nadler as well as Governor of New York Kathy Hochul and former mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg, became widely regarded as the 'establishment' candidate in the race despite only being a first-term assemblyman.[282][285] Bores, who had co-authored the Responsible AI Safety and Education Act (RAISE), made strengthening the regulation of artificial intelligence a large focus of his campaign.[285] Conway, formerly a high-profile Republican activist, based his campaign entirely around a promise to impeach President Donald Trump and his cabinet, promising to serve only a single term in office and focus solely on accomplishing this impeachment.[282] Rounding out the four frontrunners, Schlossberg based his campaign around the argument that traditional politics were failing to mobilise young voters under the Democratic Party's banner, and that his large following on social media was evidence that he could inspire them to do so.[282]
Naaman Zhou, writing in The New Yorker, noted that the ideological differences between the four candidates were minimal; while being interviewed by Zhou, Bores was unable to name a single policy disagreement between Lasher and himself.[282] All four frontrunners supported the continuation of weapons sales to Israel, with only Schlossberg arguing that these sales should be limited to defensive weaponry. The progressive Working Families Party, which had been staunch supporters of Nadler throughout his career, elected not to endorse a candidate, while left-wing activist group Our Revolution endorsed Bores but was immediately disavowed by the assemblyman for their anti-Israel stance.[282]
In the absence of ideological disagreements, the race soon devolved into a contest of personalities and geographical bases. Due to his passage of the RAISE Act, Bores became the target of significant spending from the artificial intelligence industry, with OpenAI spending millions of dollars to oppose his candidacy. Bores used this negative spending to argue that voting for his opponents was a vote for unregulated artificial intelligence.[286] However, Bores was also supported with millions of dollars by the AI company Anthropic and by cryptocurrency billionaire Chris Larsen, which led to fierce attacks by Lasher and Schlossberg that if elected Bores would be a puppet of the cryptocurrency industry.[286]
Polling in the race was scattershot, with different pollsters showing different candidates in the lead, but the joint attacks by Bores' opponents on his financial backers led City & State's Annie McDonough to argue that Bores was the frontrunner in the race.[282][286] Lasher was also considered a likely victor, due to his inheritance of Nadler's Upper West Side base that had already proven victorious over Upper East Side Representative Carolyn Maloney in the 2022 primary cycle.[287][288] Schlossberg's campaign was in contrast marred by disorganization, and critics frequently assailed him for the content of his social media posts, which included a large amount of irreverent material such as thirst traps that was viewed as unbecoming of a congressional candidate.[282][285] Conway was considered to have the least chance of winning, due to his past as a Republican in the heavily-Democratic 12th.[285]

Lasher won the primary, defeating Bores narrowly. Lasher's primary source of strength was the Upper West Side, which he won comfortably, and he also performed surprisingly strongly on the Upper East Side, winning many precincts that were expected to go to Bores.[113] Bores' strongest areas where in the younger portions of the district, and he won both Kips Bay and Hudson Yards, alongside Midtown, but this was not enough to counter Lasher's unexpected strength on the Upper East Side.[113]

The 25th district is based in the Rochester area, including all of Monroe County and part of Ontario County. The incumbent is Democrat Joseph Morelle, who was re-elected with 60.8% of the vote in 2024.[9]
Democratic primary
Incumbent Joseph Morelle had first been elected to the 25th district in 2018 and had been re-elected comfortably since then, with a large financial advantage over his opponents.[544] He faced two primary challenges in 2026; former Brighton town board member Robin Wilt, who had run against Morelle in the 2018 and 2020 primaries, and pastor Sherita Traywick.[545]
Wilt ran to Morelle's left, accusing him of not adequately opposing the presidency of Donald Trump and of being too closely affiliated with the congressional Democratic leadership.[545] Morelle responded by arguing his House committee assignments made him an effective anti-corruption advocate, and that he had successfully won funds for local infrastructure and businesses.[545] Traywick campaigned against migrant detention centres and the 2026 Iran war, arguing that new representatives were needed to address these issues.[546]
