Incumbent Jerry Nadler defeated Lindsey Boylan and Jonathan Herzog to win the Democratic nomination for New York's 10th Congressional District in a primary on June 23, 2020. Nadler received 68% of the vote to Boylan's 22% and Herzog's 10%.

Boylan and Herzog, 36 and 25 years old respectively at the time of the primary, referenced the age difference between themselves and Nadler, who was 73. Referencing the coronavirus pandemic and unrest after the death of George Floyd, Boylan said, "this moment is going to require a whole new generation of leaders, not just me."[1] Herzog wrote, "We need a new generation of leadership committed to fighting for deep freedom, not shallow equality."[2] Nadler, first elected in 1992, said he had "experience and record of accomplishment," adding, "[I] have been on the front lines in the fight for civil rights and civil liberties."[3]

All three candidates submitted a biography and key messages to Ballotpedia, which can be found here.

Nadler most recently faced a primary challenge in 2016 from Oliver Rosenberg (D), whom he defeated with 89.5% of the vote. From 1992 to 2018, Nadler won in every general election by at least 28 percentage points. At the time of the election, no Republican had received over 22% of the vote in a 10th District general election after lines were redrawn following the 2010 census.

  • Candidate filing procedures: Petition signature requirements for primary candidates was reduced.
  • Voting procedures: All votes were allowed to cast their ballots by mail in the primary election. All eligible voters were sent absentee ballot applications. The absentee ballot submission deadline was extended to June 23.

Submitted Biography "I'm a lifelong public servant, a former government official for the State of New York, and a mother to a young daughter. I'm running for office because, at a national level, we're facing an imminent threat to our democracy. We have a criminal Commander-in-Chief that no one on either side of the aisle seems to be able to hold accountable. At a local level, in New York City, we're living in the most unequal district in the nation in terms of wealth distribution, which is unacceptable for a city thought of as the beacon of progressive values. My career has been a training ground in making ideas like the Green New Deal, Federal Paid Family Leave, Housing as a Human Right, and Free Community College a reality. I've created hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs for working families across New York; worked to get Chambers of Commerce across the state on-board in the fight for a $15 minimum wage and paid family leave; oversaw New York's disaster relief efforts when Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico; and negotiated hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for NYCHA in the state budget when Congress failed to act. We need leaders with the moral courage to put country over politics and get to work. I've seen the insider's game first-hand and am angry and frustrated when machine politics gets in the way of solving the crises we're facing. I'm running for Congress because I want change for Americans, and I have the experience, the guts, and the fortitude to do something about it."


Key Messages

Climate Change: We can and must pass a Green New Deal. Many areas across this nation are one extreme weather event from total devastation. We must stop the intentional harm we are doing to the planet, and ourselves, by leading the way in 100% renewable energy and putting resources in place to protect areas besieged by climate disasters. It is time to re-think what it means to build equitable cities as we face the irreversible damage that has been done to our planet.


Mental Health: I grew up in a family that struggled with Mental Health. It wasn't until I started talking about it more publicly that I realized how many families, like mine, are impacted by suicide, addiction, depression, and other mental health issues that end in tragedy. Our country is in crisis; we must treat mental health on par with physical health in the fight for Medicare for All.


Protecting our Democracy: It is imperative that Congress move forward with impeachment. Our President makes efforts to thwart democracy in plain sight. Neither Republicans nor Democrats should look the other way for fear of being voted out of office. It is time to put country over politics and do what's right to uphold our progressive values.

Submitted Biography "COVID-19 has killed more Americans than died in the Vietnam War. It has killed more New Yorkers than 9/11. Unemployment numbers are projected to be worse than those during the Great Depression. Congress has been on recess. We need to wake up. Hate crimes in New York doubled last year. Nearly two-thirds were anti-Semitic. It's not about Trump. It's about what comes next. Theodor Wolff, 1933: "It's a hopeless mis-judgement to think that one could force a dictatorial regime upon the German nation. [Our] diversity calls for democracy." Yuval Harari, 2019: "Whoever controls the algorithms [is] the real government." We need a Representative who understands the 21st century crises we're facing and has 21st century solutions to tackle them. I'm an organizer, educator, and advocate of universal basic income endorsed by Andrew Yang. I was born and raised on the border of Hell's Kitchen and the Upper West Side. I'm a teaching fellow for legal and political philosophy at Harvard Law School and was part of the founding team that built Andrew Yang's 2020 presidential campaign. I'm a Democrat running for Congress to fight for deep freedom, not shallow equality. To raise the floor, not lower the ceiling. To fix the system, not find others to blame. It would be an honor to earn your vote on June 23rd."


Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


Universal Basic Income - $1,000 per month for every American adult and $500 per month for every American child. We're going through the greatest economic and technological shift in our history. Before COVID-19, in the world's financial capital, 1 in 6 New Yorkers couldn't meet their basic needs and 1 in 5 storefronts were closing. Before COVID-19, 1 in 3 Americans were at risk of permanently losing their jobs to new technology. Martin Luther King Jr. championed the fight for a universal basic income - while it does not solve every problem, it makes every problem easier to solve.


Universal Healthcare - Expand Medicare to cover all Americans. We spend nearly double what other countries do on healthcare to worse results. Before COVID-19, life expectancy in the U.S. had declined for three years in a row due to "deaths of despair" -- drug overdoses and suicides. More than 1 million New Yorkers are uninsured; healthcare is the leading cause of bankruptcy. We need to cut the cost of prescription drugs, invest in innovative technology, change the incentives for healthcare providers, shift our focus to preventative care, and invest in mental health.


Publicly Financed Elections - $100 clean election vouchers for every American adult. The corrupting influence of money in politics is at the root of nearly every issue we face, from climate change to gun safety.​ Politicians spend 50% of their time dialing for dollars.​ Democracy Dollars would drown out big money in politics by increasing the number of small donors, empowering all voters, diversifying candidates, and making Representatives accountable to the people. We should also overturn Citizens United, eliminate super PACs, and adopt ranked-choice voting for all federal elections.

Primaries in New York

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. New York utilizes a closed primary process, in which the selection of a party's candidates in an election is limited to registered party members.[28][29]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

What's at stake in the general election?

U.S. House elections were held on November 3, 2020, and coincided with the 2020 presidential election. All 435 House districts were up for election, and the results determined control of the U.S. House in the 117th Congress.

At the time of the election, Democrats had a 232-197 advantage over Republicans. There was one Libertarian member, and there were five vacancies. Republicans needed to gain a net 21 seats to win control of the House. Democrats needed to gain seats or lose fewer than 14 net seats to keep their majority.

In the 2018 midterm election, Democrats had a net gain of 40 seats, winning a 235-200 majority in the House. Heading into the 2018 election, Republicans had a 235-193 majority with seven vacancies.

In the 25 previous House elections that coincided with a presidential election, the president's party had gained House seats in 16 elections and lost seats in nine. In years where the president's party won districts, the average gain was 18. In years where the president's party lost districts, the average loss was 27.

General election 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.[30]
  • 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.[31][32][33]

District analysis

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index
See also: FiveThirtyEight's elasticity scores

The 2017 Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+26, meaning that in the previous two presidential elections, this district's results were 26 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made New York's 10th Congressional District the 40th most Democratic nationally.[34]

FiveThirtyEight's September 2018 elasticity score for states and congressional districts measured "how sensitive it is to changes in the national political environment." This district's elasticity score was 0.93. This means that for every 1 point the national political mood moved toward a party, the district was expected to move 0.93 points toward that party.[35]
