The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in New York were held on November 8, 2022, 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 elections for governor, U.S. Senate, attorney general, comptroller, state senate, and assembly, and various other state and local elections.

Following the 2020 census, New York lost one seat in the U.S. House. Incumbent representatives Lee Zeldin (R), Thomas Suozzi (D), Kathleen Rice (D), John Katko (R), Chris Jacobs (R), and Joe Sempolinski (R) retired. Representatives Carolyn Maloney (D) and Mondaire Jones (D) lost renomination in their primary contests. The primary elections were set to happen on June 28, but due to a court-ordered redraw of the state's Congressional maps, they were held on August 23.^[1] Due in part to Kathy Hochul's relatively weak performance in the governor's race and heavy pro-Republican turnout, the Democratic Party lost four seats.

With 11 seats held this is the most seats won by Republicans since 2000 and the best performance in the popular vote since 2002.

2020-22 redistricting controversy[edit]

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, known infamously as the "Hochulmander" (named after New York State Governor Kathy Hochul) as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander that failed to follow the proper procedures.^[2] The court then assigned an Independent Special Master to create a fair 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.^[3] The court-drawn map is often credited with helping the Republican Party win back control of the House, due to the narrow margin of the Republican majority.^[4]

U.S. Representative before election Lee Zeldin Republican Elected U.S. Representative Nick LaLota Republican

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. Due to redistricting, the district lost most of Brookhaven to the 2nd district and picked up Huntington from the 3rd district. The district has a PVI of R+4 but voted for Joe Biden by 0.2 points in 2020. The incumbent was Republican Lee Zeldin, who was reelected with 54.8% of the vote in 2020.^[6] He was retiring to run for governor.^[7]

Republicans chose their nominee, Nick LaLota, to succeed Zeldin in a three-way primary in late August, the endorsed candidate of their county committee. The primary looked to be a race between him and Anthony Figliola, a former Brookhaven deputy supervisor who argued his independence from the county party leadership made him the better choice, until Michelle Bond, head of the Association for Digital Asset Marketing, a cryptocurrency trade group, filed petitions to run right before the deadline. Ultimately LaLota won the primary with 47 percent of the vote. Bond finished with 28 percent to Figliola's 25 percent.

U.S. Representative before election Tom Suozzi Democratic Elected U.S. Representative George Santos Republican

The 3rd district is based on the North Shore of Nassau County, including all of the towns of North Hempstead and Glen Cove, most of the town of Oyster Bay, and a small part of Hempstead, and parts of Northeast Queens, including the neighborhoods of Whitestone, Beechhurst, Little Neck, and Douglaston. Due to redistricting, the district lost Huntington to the 1st district. It has a PVI of D+2 and voted for Joe Biden by 8 points in 2020. The incumbent was Democrat Tom Suozzi, who was reelected with 55.9% of the vote in 2020.^[6] Suozzi declined to run for reelection, instead opting to run for governor.^[70]

In the general election, Republican George Santos defeated Democrat Robert Zimmerman by 8 points, considered an upset in this Democratic-leaning district. On December 19, 2022, The New York Times published an article reporting that Santos had allegedly misrepresented many aspects of his life and career, including his education and employment history.^[71] An attorney for Santos said the report was a "smear" and "defamatory" but did not address the report's substance. Santos did not produce any documents to substantiate his claims, despite several requests from the Times to do so.^[71] Other news organizations confirmed and elaborated on the Times's reporting.^[72][73][74] Gerard Kassar, chair of the Conservative Party of New York State, said: "I've never seen anything like this. His entire life seems to be made up. Everything about him is fraudulent."^[74]

In the wake of the disclosures about Santos, commentators expressed amazement that no one, save the local North Shore Leader and opposition research by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, had raised questions about Santos's background during the campaign. It was speculated that if what the Times reported had been public knowledge before the election, Santos would have lost. But FiveThirtyEight said that was "unclear", noting that the other two Republican candidates on the ballot district-wide, Lee Zeldin and Joe Pinion, had also carried the district. Zeldin carried the 3rd District by 12 points in the 2022 New York gubernatorial election. Pinion carried the district by 4 points in the 2022 United States Senate election in New York, despite his campaign having been minimally funded. The site has found that pre-election scandals have on average cost candidates about 9 percentage points of the vote that they might otherwise have received, and while that might have been enough to throw the election to Zimmerman, "a scandal's impact varies quite a bit from election to election. So we can't just subtract 9 points from that margin and assume that would have been the result if voters had been aware of his deceptions." Nathaniel Rakich observed that "in this era of high partisan polarization, scandals may hurt candidates less than they used to."^[75]
