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. On August 19, 2019, attorney and former United States Justice Department, 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. On October 10, Lowey announced that she was retiring in a surprise announcement. 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 Defence, 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. 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. 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. However, his past association with the IDC earned him the enmity of both progressive and more moderate Democrats. Six of the eight members of the former IDC had been Primary election, primaried in 2018 New York State Senate election, 2018, with Carlucci being one of the two survivors. 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. By January 2020, Schleifer was leading the field in fundraising, having raised $1 million largely through self-financing. 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. In response, Schleifer called Farkas a "snake", and declared that "all [she] knows is the Inside the Beltway, fog of the beltway". 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 anti-semitism in response to the mailer, claiming that it played on negative stereotypes of Jews. Farkas campaign spokesperson Wellesley Daniels rejected the accusations, calling them "disgusting". 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.

Campaign

Originally, businessman Josh Eisen was considered the Republican frontrunner, as he had posted relatively strong fundraising numbers. 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 Josef Mengele, Mengele" and had also written sexual polemics about this same opponents' daughter. This revelation caused the local Rockland and Westchester Republican parties to disavow Eisen's campaign, and he withdrew from the race. 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.

The incumbent is Democrat Anthony Brindisi, who flipped the district and was elected with 50.9% of the vote in 2018. 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. 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". More significantly, Oneida County failed to process registrations for 2,400 voters, and incorrectly rejected 700 absentee ballots. Oneida County would later face legal action from the United States Department of Justice, federal Department of Justice over these errors. 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. On February 5, 2021, Judge Scott DelConte ruled that Tenney had won the election by 109 votes. Brindisi conceded the election on February 8.
