Incumbent Rep. Michael Lawler (R/Conservative Party) defeated Mondaire Jones (D) and Anthony Frascone (Working Families Party) in the general election for New York's 17th Congressional District on Nov. 5, 2024. Click here for detailed results.
Before the election, City & State New York’s Rebecca C. Lewis wrote that 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 was 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. Before the election, the Intelligencer’s Nia Prater wrote, “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]
Before the election, four major election forecasters differed in their ratings for the general election, with two rating it Lean Republican, one rating it Tilt Republican, and one rating it Toss-up.
Before the election, CNN’s Manu Raju wrote that the competitiveness of the district would affect how the two candidates campaigned: “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 included 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 included 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 included 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 included 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 took 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 third-quarter reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Lawler raised $7.8 million and spent $6.6 million, and Jones raised $9.1 million and spent $8.5 million. To review all the campaign finance figures in full detail, click here.
The primary was June 25, 2024. The filing deadline was April 4, 2024.
The outcome of this race affected the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 119th Congress. All 435 House districts were up for election.
At the time of the election, Republicans held a 220-212 majority with three vacancies.[10] As a result of the election, Republicans retained control of the U.S. House, winning 220 seats to Democrats' 215.[11] To read more about the 2024 U.S. House elections, 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%.[12]
New York conducted redistricting between the 2022 and 2024 elections. As a result, district lines in this state changed.

Submitted Biography: "Congressman Mike Lawler proudly represents New York’s 17th Congressional District which includes Rockland County, Putnam County and portions of Westchester and Dutchess Counties. He is on the House Committee on Financial Services and House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Prior to winning his seat in Congress, Mike represented New York’s 97th District in the State Assembly where he served on the Committees on Aging, Banks, Education, Housing, and as the Ranking Member on Governmental Operations. 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. In the Assembly, that meant additional funding for law enforcement and first responders, tax relief for middle class families, and historic funding increases for our schools in the Hudson Valley. Mike has a long history of public service. Prior to being elected to the State Assembly and Congress, he served as the Deputy Town Supervisor in Orangetown and was a Senior Advisor to the Westchester County Executive. He graduated from Manhattan College with degrees in Accounting and Finance and was Valedictorian of his graduating class. Mike is a lifelong Hudson Valley resident. He grew up in Rockland County and graduated from Suffern High School. Mike lives in Pearl River with his wife, Doina, and their daughter Julianna."

Submitted Biography: "A Rockland County native, I was raised in Section 8 housing and on food stamps by a single mom who worked multiple jobs to provide for our family. When child care was too expensive, my grandmother took me with her to work cleaning homes. I graduated from East Ramapo public schools and went on to earn my bachelor’s degree from Stanford University, work in the Department of Justice during the Obama Administration, and graduate from Harvard Law School. I was a litigator in the Westchester County Attorney’s Office, where I defended correctional officers and took guns away from dangerous people. In 2020, I was elected to Congress to represent the Lower Hudson Valley. In Congress, I took on the pharmaceutical companies, lowering prescription drug prices for millions of seniors on Medicare. I negotiated passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which is bringing tens of billions of dollars to New York to repair our roads and bridges, and passed the American Rescue Plan Act, which brought hundreds of millions of dollars to the Lower Hudson Valley for schools, housing, and health care. I also stood up to the extremes in both parties. I delivered record law enforcement funding to support our police officers, built a record as a staunch supporter of Israel, and worked to block members of Congress from getting rich off the stock market. I am running to return to Congress to finish the work I started to lower costs, defend our democracy, and stop Republicans from banning abortion."

Mondaire Jones (D)
I will fight to lower costs for Lower Hudson families. I will work to lower prescription drug costs, protect Social Security & Medicare, fully restore the SALT deduction, and make housing more affordable.
I will make safety a top priority for our communities. I will always support our law enforcement, work to pass an assault weapons ban and universal background checks law, secure our southern border by passing bipartisan legislation, fight against anti-semitism, and stand by America’s allies abroad.
Michael Lawler (Republican, Conservative)
Second, public safety. This includes supporting our police and cracking down on antisemitism on our college campuses and in our own backyard. I’ve brought back tens of millions for law enforcement and passed the bipartisan Antisemitism Awareness Act through the House.
Third, securing the border. We must find a bipartisan solution, like the DIGNITY Act, that secures our border and finds a dignified solution to undocumented immigrants living here.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[13] 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."[14] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

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.[15]
- 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.[16][17][18]

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.

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.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+3.
