The 11th district contains the entirety of Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn, including the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Bath Beach, Dyker Heights, southwestern Gravesend, western Sheepshead Bay, and parts of southern Bensonhurst. The incumbent was Democrat Max Rose, who flipped the district and was elected with 53.0% of the vote in 2018, only the second time the House district flipped blue for the Democratic Party since Republicans won the seat in 1980.[1]
Based on city and state-reported election night results, with all election districts reporting, in 2020 the traditionally conservative 11th district reverted to the Republican Party. While polls had predicted a close race, Conservative/Republican challenger Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis defeated Democratic freshman incumbent Rose to win the seat back for the GOP by a 6.4 point margin. Malliotakis earned 53.2 percent of the vote in the district over Rose's 46.8 percent. Malliotakis won her home borough of Staten Island while Rose won the Brooklyn portion of the district. Rose formally conceded the race to Malliotakis on November 12.[164] Final recanvassing and certification of results happened within 25 days of the November 3 general election.[165][166]

The 14th district covers the eastern part of the Bronx and part of north-central Queens, including the neighborhoods of College Point, Corona, East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, and Woodside. The incumbent was Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who had been elected with 78.2% of the vote in 2018.[1] Ocasio-Cortez easily won the Democratic primary against former CNBC anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera. Her large margin of victory was partly attributed by Fortune's Rey Mashayekhi to her substantial fundraising advantage and focus on digital advertising.[216]

The 15th district is located entirely within the Bronx, including the neighborhoods of Hunts Point, Castle Hill, and Tremont. According to the Cook Partisan Voting Index, the 15th district is one of the most Democratic congressional districts in the country, with a PVI of D+39. As a result, victory in the Democratic primary in the district would be tantamount to election.[citation needed] The incumbent Democrat, José E. Serrano, announced on March 25, 2019, that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and would not be seeking re-election.[246]

The 17th district encompasses the lower Hudson Valley taking in Rockland County as well as northwestern and central Westchester County. The incumbent was Democrat Nita Lowey, who was re-elected with 88.0% of the vote in 2018, without major-party opposition.[1] On October 10, 2019, Lowey announced she was retiring from Congress and would not seek re-election.[348]

Campaign
Incumbent representative Nita Lowey had served as U.S. Representative for the area since 1988, and had not faced a primary challenger or serious Republican opponent in that time.[365] On August 19, 2019, attorney and former Justice Department official Mondaire Jones announced a primary challenge to Lowey, her first since 1988, citing a range of issues on which he felt Lowey was not left-wing enough.[365] On October 10, Lowey announced that she was retiring in a surprise announcement.[366] Following Lowey's retirement, several Democratic candidates announced campaigns for the seat. In the resulting primary, four frontrunners emerged; Jones, Evelyn Farkas, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, David Carlucci, a state senator and former member of the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC), and Adam Schleifer, a former federal prosecutor who used his considerable personal wealth to self-finance his campaign.[367]
In the ensuing campaign, Carlucci attacked the other three main candidates, accusing them of being carpetbaggers, while Jones also attacked the other major candidates, accusing them of being more akin to Republicans than Democrats.[367] Carlucci was felt to be a formidable candidate, as he was considered to have a lock on support from voters west of the Hudson River, which bisects the district.[368] However, his past association with the IDC earned him the enmity of both progressive and more moderate Democrats.[367] Six of the eight members of the former IDC had been primaried in 2018, with Carlucci being one of the two survivors.[369] Pro-choice groups devoted money and resources to opposing his bid, as during his period in the state senate he had helped block pro-abortion legislation.[370]
By January 2020, Schleifer was leading the field in fundraising, having raised $1 million largely through self-financing.[371] Schleifer attracted personal criticism for self-financing rather than campaigning through donations, and Farkas also criticised him for refusing to divest from stocks while campaigning.[367] In response, Schleifer called Farkas a "snake", and declared that "all [she] knows is the fog of the beltway".[367] Controversy arose between the two campaigns when Farkas sent a mailer to voters in the district denouncing Schleifer, which featured an image of a man stuffing money into another man's pocket. Schleifer, who is Jewish, accused Farkas of antisemitism in response to the mailer, claiming that it played on negative stereotypes of Jews.[372] Farkas campaign spokesperson Wellesley Daniels rejected the accusations, calling them "disgusting".[372]
Carlucci's campaign began to falter as the primary went on, suffering from poor fundraising and a lack of prominent endorsements, while Jones began to gain traction as endorsements and donations from national progressives boosted his candidacy.[368][373]

Campaign
Originally, businessman Josh Eisen was considered the Republican frontrunner, as he had posted relatively strong fundraising numbers.[424] However, his campaign imploded when allegations were revealed that he had threatened former employees, and that while embroiled in a legal dispute he had told his opponents' wife that she would "bathe in the warm semen of Mengele" and had also written sexual polemics about this same opponents' daughter.[424] This revelation caused the local Rockland and Westchester Republican parties to disavow Eisen's campaign, and he withdrew from the race.[425] Eisen's withdrawal paved the way for two other candidates, retired firefighter Maureen McArdle-Schulman and chemical engineer Yehudis Gottesfeld, to compete for the nomination.[424]

The 22nd district is based in central New York and the Mohawk Valley, including the cities of Utica, Rome, Cortland and Binghamton. The incumbent was Democrat Anthony Brindisi, who flipped the district and was elected with 50.9% of the vote in 2018.[1] This was a rematch of the 2018 election where Brindisi unseated Tenney.
The election went into lengthy legal proceedings during the counting of absentee ballots. Several errors by county boards of election were uncovered during the proceedings, affecting thousands of voters.[444] The Oneida County Board of Elections used sticky notes to mark disputed ballots, which fell off and adhered to other ballots: this came to be called "stickygate".[445] More significantly, Oneida County failed to process registrations for 2,400 voters,[446] and incorrectly rejected 700 absentee ballots.[447] Oneida County would later face legal action from the federal Department of Justice over these errors.[448] Other county boards of elections also made errors affecting dozens of ballots.
The seat officially became vacant when Brindisi's term expired on January 3, 2021.[449][450] On February 5, 2021, Judge Scott DelConte ruled that Tenney had won the election by 109 votes.[451] Brindisi conceded the election on February 8.[452]
