U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler defeated U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, Suraj Patel, and Ashmi Sheth in the Democratic primary for New York's 12th Congressional District on August 23, 2022. Heading into the primary, Maloney, Nadler, and Patel led in endorsements, funding, and media attention.[1][2][3]

This race was one of six primaries featuring two U.S. House incumbents as a result of congressional redistricting. Heading into the election, Maloney represented the old 12th District and Nadler represented the old 10th District. According to data from Daily Kos, Maloney represented 61% of the redrawn 12th District's population and Nadler represented 39%.[4]

Both Nadler and Maloney were first elected in 1992. As of the 2022 primary, Nadler chaired the Judiciary Committee and Maloney chaired the Oversight and Reform Committee. Both were members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and campaigned as progressives.[5][6][7]

The New York Times' Nicholas Fandos wrote of the primary, "With overwhelmingly similar views, the candidates ... toiled through the summer to differentiate themselves." Fandos said that Nadler "tried to claim the progressive mantle and highlighted his status as the city’s last remaining Jewish congressman," Maloney's campaign "centered on women — both their electoral potential to sway the outcome and the importance of protecting one of their own," and Patel "[targeted] younger voters, stressing the need for generational change against two septuagenarians[.]"[8]

According to HuffPost's Daniel Marans, Nadler "argued that he [was] more progressive than Maloney, noting his support for the Iran nuclear agreement and opposition to the Iraq War," Maloney "[argued] that she [was] best-equipped to confront the country’s challenges following the Supreme Court decision overturning a federal right to abortion," and Patel's "main focus ... [was] in appealing to voters interested in a new generation of leadership, especially people living in parts of Manhattan that neither Maloney nor Nadler [represented]."[2]

Nadler said he had been a "relentless defender of our country’s democracy from leading two impeachment efforts against Donald Trump to defending our Constitution’s fundamental promise of equality for all, and proudly standing on the front lines in the fight for LGBTQ rights, women’s rights, racial justice, and the First Amendment rights guaranteeing freedom of expression and religion."[9] U.S. Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and The New York Times editorial board endorsed Nadler.

Maloney said her record included "fostering lasting bipartisan agreement" and "promoting equality, protecting consumers, building infrastructure that serves New Yorkers and the region, extending and protecting healthcare coverage for all, protecting the environment, and working to understand and find solutions for everyday issues like affordable housing and small business support."[7] The Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC, EMILY's List, and the American Federation of Government Employees endorsed Maloney.

Patel, an attorney, was a campaign staffer for Barack Obama's presidential campaigns.[10] Patel challenged Maloney in 2018 and 2020. In 2018, Maloney defeated Patel 60% to 40%. In 2020, Maloney defeated Patel 43% to 39% in a four-candidate race.

Patel said, "1990s politicians have lost every major battle to [Republican Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell - from climate action to guns and abortion. ... To win our country back, we need new messengers to make a new case for our values."[11] 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, Indian American Impact, and New York Assemblymember Khaleel Anderson (D) endorsed Patel.

Party: Democratic Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I am an attorney, small business leader, and NYU lecturer on business ethics who proudly worked for President Obama. In 2020, I challenged Carolyn Maloney and came within 3 points of victory. Over 100,000 New Yorkers voted in the 2020 Democratic primary election. When my parents emigrated from India in the late 1960s in search of economic opportunity, three generations of our family lived in a two-bedroom apartment over the bodega we ran. I grew up bussing tables, filling vending machines, doing motel laundry, and helping out on construction sites. Together as a family, we lived the American Dream, something that's nearly far too difficult today. I’m running for Congress because Democrats need a new generation of leaders - practical and progressive leaders who can deliver new energy and fresh ideas on how to get things done. Leaders who are always on the side of democracy, not just when it’s politically advantageous. 1990s politicians have lost nearly every major battle to Mitch McConnell - on abortion rights, gun reform, climate action, and our democracy. It’s time for a new approach. New fighters for a new decade. New messengers to make a better case for our values."

Key Messages

1990s politicians have lost every major battle to Mitch McConnell - from climate action to guns and abortion. Rather than taking on these fights, the incumbents have been busy taking millions in Corporate PAC money and gerrymandering their own districts to maintain their power. To win our country back, we need new messengers to make a new case for our values.

The political culture of 'No' in Washington has led to a crisis of livability. I’m ready to say ‘yes’ to progress on issues like housing, infrastructure, and childcare.

I’m the only candidate in this race with comprehensive plans and the experience to make our streets safer, lower costs of living, and win back our fundamental rights.

Ashmi Sheth

WebsiteFacebookTwitterYouTube

Party: Democratic Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I am a first-generation Asian American, climate activist, and former regulator. I would be the first woman of color to ever represent NY-10 and the youngest woman in Congress. I face the challenges my community faces and have organized strong grassroots progressive power through community building in spaces often neglected. The weight of survival makes me resilient. My parents had less than $25 when they immigrated from India. I remember when they finally paid off their credit card debt and neighbors taking care of us after school for free -- through hard times, we still had a home cooked meal for dinner every night. My run for Congress is personal because we are experiencing an affordability crisis. Like millions of Americans, I am paying off an enormous student debt burden and experiencing a housing crisis. Accessing healthcare is complicated, especially as a person with a disability. Politics hasn’t been built for people like me. Even so, I gave up my job and income, regulating big banks at the Federal Reserve to run. The system undermines working class candidates. Our campaign is dedicated to 21st century governance (investing in climate resiliency, small business, public education, clean cities), equal opportunity for all, and increasing voter participation."

Key Messages

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

Build a 21st century government and invest in climate resiliency, public education, and small business. The biggest threat to our future is the climate crisis. As a first generation Asian American, I have directly lived through terrifying monsoon rains and extreme winter heat waves. It is necessary for Indigenous Peoples, immigrants, community members, and city dwellers to have a voice at the table on global climate justice. I fully support passing the Green New Deal and accelerating pathways to net zero emissions. Our campaign advocates to retrofit more than a million buildings in NYC, for a circular economy, a higher carbon tax, and eliminating all dependence on fossil fuels.

Make life more affordable and address personal financial health and debt reduction, small business recovery, and rampant wealth inequality. As a former regulator, I will build stronger protections for working people. Most of us suffer from enormous debt burdens. I am running to cancel student debt, increase the number of affordable housing units in NYC, and subsidize healthy food. I have seen hundreds of people waiting in line for food through COVID, a rise in homelessness, and tuition rates increasing. Median rent for a studio apartment in Manhattan should not be $2,700 a month. Our district suffers the greatest level of income inequality in the country, and I will fight for a quality of life for all.

Enforce equal opportunity for all and expand same day voter registration, voting rights, equal access to jobs, and representation in every institution. Many communities in our district, particularly minorities, have been neglected by our leadership and have faced the worst of the pandemic. I will prioritize mass voter registration efforts, creating spaces for new leaders who represent diverse interests, enforcing equal opportunity hiring, and ensuring our government equitably delivers services for everyone in our district - especially with COVID-19. Our voices have not been at the table. To take on big power, our campaign leads with our community and refuses corporate PAC money.

Jerrold Nadler (D)

As Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, I have also been proud to use every tool at my disposal to address the issues facing our country. My committee has jurisdiction over many of the most pressing and vital issues – from civil rights to immigration to gun control.

A few of the major pieces of legislation that I have brought to the floor and been instrumental in passing the House:

• The John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which would restore key protections for minority voters. • The American Dream and Promise Act, which would provide legal protections and a path to citizenship for Dreamers. • The Equality Act, which would provide comprehensive civil rights protections to LGBTQ Americans. • The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which would reform policing in a variety of ways. • Legislation to require universal gun background checks. • The NO BAN Act, to ensure that no president could enact another Muslim Ban, like President Trump imposed. • Legislation to remove the deadline for finally ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment; and • Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.

I have also never stopped fighting for NY. I have worked tirelessly to help NY recover from the 9/11 WTC attacks, as well as health care and compensation for the responders and survivors. I am also proud of the many educational, cultural, and social welfare organizations based in the district and proud to have helped bring hundreds of millions of federal dollars home to NYC.

Suraj Patel (D)

The Economy: Drive down inflation and bring down the cost of living by investing in a public option for childcare, lowering drug prices, and building more public universities, housing, and healthcare. Ensure infrastructure projects are completed on time and taxpayer dollars are being well-spent. Spur breakthrough innovations and discoveries with a space-race-scale mobilization of science and public R&D to solve big problems.

Democracy reform: Get big money out of politics, ban gerrymandering, abolish the electoral college, expand voting rights, abolish the filibuster.

Climate change: Deploy a multipronged strategy to decarbonize and reach net-zero by 2035 including a clean energy moonshot to make fossil fuels economically unviable over the next decade, fund a Green Infrastructure Bank, and a Blue New Deal to save our oceans + wetlands.

Abortion and Civil rights: Codify abortion, gay marriage, contraception, and interracial marriage into federal law; expand the Supreme Court and installl term limits for Supreme Court Justices; increase Title X funding; and pass the Equal Rights Ammendment. Expand access to medication abortion and open up abortion clinics on federal land.

Public Safety: Focus policing on solving violent crimes; rebuild trust between communities of color and the police; pass The VICTIM Act to help law enforcement solve gun crimes; invest in place-based, non-police interventions like street lights and street plazas; address the root causes of crime.

Ashmi Sheth (D)

We need to make a federal investment to pay our teachers more and create a pipeline of teachers from diverse backgrounds. To break apart opportunity monopolies and tackle NYC’s segregated school system, steps include smaller class sizes, investing in community schools, and expanding high quality teachers recruitment and retention to low-income schools. I support Summer Programs for All so every student of all abilities has the option to receive summer enrichment for an additional 20 days. I believe in cancelling student debt, building true cost of education transparency, and ending standardized testing.

The biggest barrier to clean energy is not the lack of technology but the lack of political courage in places of power. To make all states 100% clean energy by 2050, we must address climate inequality the Global South and coastal cities experience by penalizing greenwashing. While most big business polluters deceptively market their efforts as “environmentally friendly,” in reality, only 5% of Fortune 500 companies are committed to powering all of their operations using renewable energy. With nearly every major company presence in NYC, we have a serious role holding the remaining corporations accountable and mandate total corporate carbon reduction.

We must dismantle the systems of power that endanger minorities, by eliminating barriers to healthcare, housing and education, banning exclusions to transgender healthcare, and providing free menstrual health coverage.
Image of https://s3.amazonaws.com/ballotpedia-api4/files/thumbs/100/100/asheth2.png

Ashmi Sheth (D)

We need our elected officials to prioritize increasing voter turnout and civic engagement, and ensure our tax dollars are used effectively. Currently, people are discouraged that the government is not working for them. Elected officials have the responsibility to write policy with their constituents and take action urgently.

Our campaign built a model where hundreds of community stakeholders have co-authored our platform with us over the last few years. We have already surrounded ourselves with a broad, diverse working coalition that continues to grow. From indigenous communities, to space policy experts, to scientists decomposing plastic waste -- they write our platform with us and this is an important characteristic we need in our elected officials.

A healthy democracy that will survive and adapt in the long run relies on competition and new voices in government -- on people doing the work to expand the electorate. I am not taking any corporate PAC money and we have built a grassroots campaign.

We need to equalize the playing field so there is equal opportunity to represent new voices in government. This is pivotal to curb incumbents from retaining power for two generations. The system of running exploits first time and working class candidates. Redistricting and petitioning ambiguity directly affects who runs. Elected officials must think of procedural change to address access to opportunities to represent new voices.
Image of https://s3.amazonaws.com/ballotpedia-api4/files/thumbs/100/100/asheth2.png

Ashmi Sheth (D)

I have a clear vision of our future needs and built a 21st century platform centered on diversity, equity, inclusion, and access with our constituents. I do not accept money from corporate PACS and other big special interests. Our campaign is people-powered, future-driven, empathetic, and accessible. It is what we need to feel inspired to keep going. These values of accessibility and commitment to equity and justice are fundamental, and all elected officials ought to uphold them.
Image of https://s3.amazonaws.com/ballotpedia-api4/files/thumbs/100/100/asheth2.png

Ashmi Sheth (D)

Climate change, public education, voting rights, and equal opportunity are the most pivotal challenges facing the US. These problems are all intertwined with one another, and we cannot address one without addressing them all together.
Image of https://s3.amazonaws.com/ballotpedia-api4/files/thumbs/100/100/asheth2.png

Ashmi Sheth (D)

I support term limits to ensure decision makers continue to represent us and do not lose touch with the electorate.

Ashmi Sheth (D)

I've heard thousands of stories of people in my district - of parents finding needles in their child's playground, broken stovetops for over a decade, a lack of care from elected officials who haven't even knocked on their doors or sent them mail, frustration from COVID and thousands of small businesses dying. We need new representation and we hear hope for my run on the ground.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[24] 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."[25] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

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.[31]
  • 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.[32][33][34]

Satellite spending describes political spending not controlled by candidates or their campaigns; that is, any political expenditures made by groups or individuals that are not directly affiliated with a candidate. This includes spending by political party committees, super PACs, trade associations, and 501(c)(4) nonprofit groups.[37][38]

If available, satellite spending reports by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and OpenSecrets.org are linked below. FEC links include totals from monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual reports. OpenSecrets.org compiles data from those reports as well as 24- and 48-hour reports from the FEC.[39]

Details about satellite spending of significant amounts and/or reported by media are included below those links. The amounts listed may not represent the total satellite spending in the election. To notify us of additional satellite spending, email us.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in New York in 2022. Information below was calculated on August 18, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

One hundred six candidates filed to run for New York's 26 U.S. House districts, including 67 Democrats and 39 Republicans. That's 4.08 candidates per district, more than the four candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.15 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in New York losing one U.S. House district. The 106 candidates who ran this year were two fewer than the 108 who ran in 2020 and 21 more than the 85 who ran in 2018. Seventy-seven candidates ran in 2016, 55 in 2014, and 81 in 2012.

Four incumbents ran in districts other than the ones they represented at the time. Rep. Claudia Tenney (R), who represented the 22nd district, ran in the 24th. Rep. Sean Maloney (D), who represented the 18th district, ran in the 17th, and Rep. Mondaire Jones (D), the incumbent in the 17th, ran in the 10th.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D), who represented the 10th district, ran in the 12th this year. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D), the incumbent in the 12th district, ran for re-election, making the 12th the only New York district in 2022 where two incumbents ran against each other.

Five incumbents—two Democrats and three Republicans—did not file to run for re-election. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R), who represented the 1st district, and Rep. Tom Suozzi (D), who represented the 3rd district, filed to run for governor. Rep. John Katko (R), who represented the 24th district, and Rep. Kathleen Rice (D), who represented the 4th district, retired. Rep. Christopher Jacobs (R), who represented the 27th district, also retired. The 27th district was eliminated after 2022 due to redistricting.

There were seven open seats this year, a decade-high. That number was up from four in 2020, and from one in 2018. There were four open seats in 2016 and two in 2014 and 2012.

The open seats included Zeldin’s 1st district, Suozzi’s 3rd, Rice’s 4th, Maloney’s 18th, and Tenney’s 22nd. Additionally, the 19th and the 23rd district were vacant before the primaries took place. Rep. Antonio Delgado (D), who represented the 19th, was appointed Lt. Governor of New York, and Rep. Tom Reed (R), who represented the 23rd, resigned after a sexual misconduct allegation. Special elections were held on August 23 to fill both seats.

Fourteen candidates ran to replace Nadler in the 10th district, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year. One of the candidates, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), unofficially withdrew from the race, but his name appeared on the ballot.

There were 16 contested Democratic primaries this year, the same number as in 2020, and three more than in 2018, when there were 13. There were 10 contested Democratic primaries in 2016, five in 2014, and 10 in 2012.

There were eight contested Republican primaries. That was one more than in 2020, when there were seven contested Republican primaries, and seven more than in 2018, when there was only one. There were three contested Republican primaries in 2016, five in 2014, and five in 2012.

Seven incumbents did not face any primary challengers this year. One seat—the 5th— was guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed. No seats were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed.
