Incumbent Rep. Michael Lawler (R/Conservative Party), Mondaire Jones (D), and Anthony Frascone (Working Families Party) are running in New York's 17th Congressional District election on November 5, 2024. Lawler and Jones lead in campaign finance, polls, endorsements, and media attention.

According to City & State New York’s Rebecca C. Lewis, this election “may offer Democrats one of their best opportunities to flip back. [Lawler] won the seat by the closest margin among fellow first-term Republicans in the state, and the demographics of the district are among the most favorable to Democrats.”[1] Additionally, this district is one of 19 Republican-held congressional districts up for election in 2024 that Joe Biden (D) won in the 2020 presidential election. Lewis wrote that Lawler “has a perfect electoral record of defeating incumbent Democrats, first flipping an Assembly seat in 2020 in his first run for office, and doing so again [in 2022] for his position in Congress.”[1]

In February 2024, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) signed a new congressional map into law. According to Intelligencer’s Nia Prater, “Though Lawler’s seat is considered a top target for Democrats this cycle, the freshman Republican’s district avoided any changes that might’ve tipped the scales in favor of his Democratic opponent.”[2]

As of September 4, 2024, The Cook Political Report and Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball both rated the general election Toss-up, Decision Desk HQ and The Hill rated it Lean Democratic, and Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales rated it Tilt Republican.

CNN’s Manu Raju wrote that the competitiveness of the district is affecting how the two candidates campaign: “Both sides are trying to tie the other to the most extreme elements of their parties. Indeed, Democrats are touting a ProPublica study showing that Lawler votes the same as the hard-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene roughly 81% of the time. Lawler pushed back, and pointed out that Jones voted with liberal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 97% of the time, calling him a ‘radical progressive’.”[3]

Lawler was first elected to represent the district in 2022 after he defeated then-incumbent Rep. Sean Maloney (D), 50.3% to 49.7%. Before he was elected to Congress, Lawler represented District 97 in the New York Assembly from 2021 to 2023. Lawler's professional experience includes working as a partner with Checkmate Strategies from 2018 to 2022 and serving as the deputy town supervisor for Orangetown, New York, from 2018 to 2020.[4]

Lawler’s priorities include affordability, border security and immigration reform, and addressing antisemitism.[5] Lawler’s website said, "The fact that Congressman Lawler, as a Republican, was able to win a district that President Biden won by 10 points in 2020 and is home to 70,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans, is a testament to his bipartisan, pragmatic approach to governing.”[6]

Jones represented the district from 2021 to 2023.[7] Due to redistricting, Jones ran in 2022 to represent New York's 10th Congressional District. In the Democratic primary, Daniel Goldman (D) defeated Jones 25.9% to 18.1% in a field of 13 candidates. Jones’ professional experience includes working as a fellow with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Policy, as an associate with Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, and as an attorney with the Westchester County Attorney’s Office.[7]

Jones’ priorities include working “to lower costs for Lower Hudson Valley residents, defend our democracy, raise wages, and stop Republicans from banning abortion.”[8] During his tenure in Congress, Jones' campaign website said he “earned a reputation as someone who stood up to the extremes in both parties to deliver results for the Lower Hudson Valley.”[8]

This race also takes place against the backdrop of Frascone winning the Working Families Party nomination. The party nominated Jones’ in his two previous congressional races. According to City & State New York’s Austin C. Jefferson, Jones “drew the ire of left-wing forces in New York when he endorsed [George Latimer] in June, which led the WFP to pull its support from Jones’ campaign.” Jefferson also wrote that Frascone’s nomination “could siphon some votes away from Jones” in the general election.[9]

Based on Q2 2024 reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Lawler raised $5.7 million and spent $1.8 million and Jones raised $5.5 million and spent $1.2 million. To review campaign finance figures in full detail, click here.

The primary was June 25, 2024. The filing deadline was April 4, 2024.

All 435 U.S. House seats are up for election in 2024. Republicans have a 220 to 211 majority with four vacancies.[10] As of June 2024, 45 members of the U.S. House had announced they were not running for re-election. To read more about the U.S. House elections taking place this year, click here.

In the 2022 election in this district, the Republican candidate won 50.3%-49.7%. Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Joe Biden (D) would have defeated Donald Trump (R) 54.5%-44.4%.[11]

New York conducted redistricting between the 2022 and 2024 elections. As a result, district lines in this state changed.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[12] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[13] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[14]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[15][16][17]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in New York in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 16, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Fifty-nine candidates ran for New York’s 26 U.S. House districts, including 32 Democrats and 27 Republicans. That’s an average of 2.27 candidates per district. There were 4.12 candidates per district in 2022, 4.00 candidates per district in 2020, and 3.15 candidates per district in 2018.

The 59 candidates who ran in New York in 2024 was the fewest number of candidates since 2014, when 55 candidates ran.

No districts were open in 2024, meaning all incumbents ran for re-election. This was the fewest number of open districts in the last 10 years.

Four candidates—three Democrats and one Republican—ran for the 10th Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a district in New York in 2024.

Six primaries—five Democratic and one Republican—were contested in 2024. Between 2014 and 2022, an average of 16.8 primaries were contested each election year.

Four incumbents—three Democrats and one Republican—were in contested primaries in 2024. Between 2014 and 2022, an average of 8.00 incumbents ran in contested primaries each election year.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all 26 districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
