Sean Maloney defeated Alessandra Biaggi in the Democratic Party primary for New York's 17th Congressional District on August 23, 2022. Maloney received 67% of the vote to Biaggi's 33%.[1]At the time of the election, Mondaire Jones (D) represented the 17th Congressional District since 2021 but ran in New York's 10th Congressional District this election cycle.

At the time of the election, Maloney had represented New York's 18th Congressional District since 2013 and served as the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee since 2020. Maloney was a candidate for attorney general of New York in 2018, but was defeated by Letitia James in the Democratic primary. He also served as a senior advisor to President Bill Clinton (D) and first deputy secretary in former Gov. Eliot Spitzer's (D) administration. Maloney said he was “focused on getting results for my neighbors in the Hudson Valley – despite gridlock and dysfunction in Washington.”[2] Former U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey (D) endorsed Maloney.[3]

At the time of the election, Biaggi had represented District 34 in the New York State Senate since 2019. Biaggi also served as lead counsel to the NYS Council for Women and Girls, as the deputy national operations director for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, as the assistant general counsel for the Office of Storm Recovery, and as a legal fellow for New York State Homes and Community Renewal.[4] Biaggi said she ran for Congress "to protect and defend our democracy, to halt the climate crisis, to grow our supply of affordable housing, and to transform our government and economy to serve us all."[5] U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) endorsed Biaggi.[6]

As a result of redistricting, the 17th Congressional District's boundaries shifted to encompass Putnam County. According to data from The New York Times, President Joe Biden (D) received 60% of the vote in the old district, but would have received 55% of the vote in the new district. The New York Times' Nicholas Fandos said congressional redistricting in the state "erased outright gains that Democrats had counted on based on the Legislature’s map and made other Democratic swing seats more competitive."[7]

According to Axios' Andrew Solender, "Maloney stoked anger from the left by running in a redrawn district mostly represented by Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.), a progressive freshman who is now running for an open seat in New York City miles away from his home turf. Biaggi, who had been running in an open district that was similarly upended by redistricting, then opted to run against Maloney."[8]

Biaggi said Maloney was “a selfish corporate Democrat” and that "having the head of the campaign arm not stay in his district, not maximize the number of seats New York can have to hold the majority" was hurtful to the party.[7] Maloney said, “From my point of view, I’m just running from where I landed. If someone else is looking at the district, as well, obviously we will try to work through that as colleagues and friends.”[9]

As of July 2022, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter and Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball rated the district Lean Democratic, while Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rated it Likely Democratic. In the previous election, Mondaire Jones defeated Maureen McArdle Schulman (R) 59% to 35%.

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.
