Nicholas A. Langworthy defeated Carl Paladino in New York's 23rd Congressional District Republican primary on August 23, 2022.[1][2] New York's 23rd had been vacant since the May 10, 2022, resignation of Tom Reed (R). To read about the August 23 special election to finish Reed's term, click here.

The Buffalo News’ Robert J. McCarthy said Langworthy and Paladino’s presence in the primary “[was] expected to result in a lively race, pitting against each other two well-known conservatives and allies of former President Donald Trump in an overwhelmingly Republican and pro-Trump district.”[3]

Langworthy was the chairman of the New York Republican Party. He also worked as an executive committee member for Donald Trump’s (R) 2016 presidential transition.[4] Langworthy received endorsements from the House Conservatives Fund and its chairman, Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.). Banks said, “Nick is a true conservative who will be on the front lines fighting back against the radical policies of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. Nick will put American workers and families first and he is ready to hit the ground running on Day One.”[5]

Paladino was an attorney who chaired the Ellicott Development Company, a real estate development and management company. He co-chaired Trump's 2016 presidential campaign in New York, and was the Republican nominee for governor of New York in 2010.[6][7] Paladino was endorsed by House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y). Stefanik said, “Carl is a job creator and conservative outsider who will be a tireless fighter for the people of New York in our fight to put America First to save the country."[8]

Rep. Christopher Jacobs (R), who represented the 27th District as drawn before redistricting, withdrew from the 23rd District primary on June 3.[9] Spectrum News’ Ryan Whalen wrote, "The election opened up [...] when Rep. Chris Jacobs dropped out of the race. Jacobs faced immense pressure from the GOP and Conservative Party to withdraw after expressing his support for several new gun laws including a federal ban on AR-15-style rifles.”[10]

The Elmira Star-Gazette’s Chris Potter wrote that the district’s “new borders [after redistricting] include Allegany, Steuben, Chemung, Schuyler, Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties, plus a large part of Erie County.”[11] According to data from Daily Kos, 58% of New York’s new 23rd District population came from the old 23rd District, 36% came from the old 27th District, and 6% came from the old 26th District.[12]

The primary election took place alongside a special election for the district on August 23, 2022. Rep. Tom Reed (R) resigned in May.[13] Click here for information on the special election.

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.[14]
  • 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.[15][16][17]

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.
