Andrew Garbarino (R) defeated Jackie Gordon (D) and Harry Burger (G) in the general election for New York's 2nd Congressional District on November 3, 2020. Incumbent Rep. Peter King (R) did not run for re-election.[1]
In 2016 and 2018, King defeated the Democratic nominee 62% to 38% and 53% to 47%, respectively. King was first elected in 1992.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) named New York’s 2nd a 2020 target district.[3] Both the DCCC and the National Republican Congressional Committee prioritized this race.[4][5]
The outcome of this race affected partisan control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 117th Congress. All 435 seats in the House were up for election. At the time of the election, Democrats had a 232 to 198 majority over Republicans. The Libertarian Party had one seat. Four seats were vacant. Democrats defended 30 districts Donald Trump (R) won in 2016. Republicans defended five districts Hillary Clinton (D) won in 2016.
New York's 2nd Congressional District is located in the eastern portion of the state and includes parts of Nassau and Suffolk counties.[6] Suffolk County is one of New York’s 18 Pivot Counties. Pivot Counties are counties that voted for Barack Obama (D) in 2008 and 2012 and for Donald Trump (R) in 2016.

Election procedure changes in 2020
Ballotpedia provided comprehensive coverage of how election dates and procedures changed in 2020. While the majority of changes occurred as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, some changes occurred for other reasons.
New York modified its absentee/mail-in voting and candidate filing procedures for the November 3, 2020, general election as follows:
- Absentee/mail-in voting: Absentee voting eligibility in the general election was extended to any voter who was "unable to appear personally at the polling place of the election district in which they are a qualified voter because there is a risk of contracting or spreading a disease causing illness to the voter or to other members of the public." The state launched an absentee ballot request portal.
- Candidate filing procedures: The filing deadline for independent nominating petitions was extended to July 30, 2020.

Submitted Biography: "I'm a mechanical engineer who got interested in politics back when I was in the Boy Scouts. One of the things I had to do on my way to Eagle Scout was write a letter to my member of Congress, and that made me understand how important it is that the ones who make the laws are held accountable by the People who are expected to follow them, as a check on government becoming unreasonable. About the same time I also got invited to the Global Young Leaders Conference where I met people from all over the world, it was a model-UN setup with a lot of talk about the different ways other governments worked, I'm still in touch a few I met there 20 years later. I've been thinking for a few years now that our government is past the point of unreasonable, where we let 1% of our population hold 40% of the wealth. We spend far more on health care per capita than any other country on Earth, only to have 36 of them live longer than us on average, because we're the only Highly Developed Nation without a universal health care system, instead we let ghouls become billionaires by denying big insurance claims, forcing families into bankruptcy. The rich have made it legal to effectively buy more power in government than the People, they own the Big 2 parties. I tossed my hat in the ring because I came to realize that if I didn't, we'd only get to chose the color of the boots trampling the working class - Red or Blue. With King retiring, it's the best opportunity for change."

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 R+3, meaning that in the previous two presidential elections, this district's results were 3 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made New York's 2nd Congressional District the 216th most Republican nationally.[10]
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 1.01. This means that for every 1 point the national political mood moved toward a party, the district was expected to move 1.01 points toward that party.[11]
Race ratings

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.[12]
- 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.[13][14][15]

Gordon’s campaign website stated the following:
“ |
This COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating for our loved ones and our livelihoods, and few communities have experienced the effects of this crisis more than ours here on Long Island. As we move forward as a community, we need a leader in Washington who will put Long Island families first to rebuild our economy and protect our health and safety above all else. As a Member of Congress, I will fight to ensure that relief goes to the small businesses and working families who need it most, not big corporations or the wealthy. I will work to expand career and technical training in sectors like biotech and manufacturing, to create quality jobs while building the medical supply chain we need to be prepared for the next pandemic. And I will always advocate to make healthcare and prescription drugs more affordable so no one has to worry about their pocketbook when they are sick. From day one of this crisis, my team and I have been committed to bringing our community the information that we need.
Every day, families are getting squeezed by rising insurance premiums, deductibles, and prescription drug costs. We need representatives fighting for us in Washington. But too often, career politicians choose to vote in favor of corporate special interests that fund their campaigns, including the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. In Congress, I will work to make health care more affordable, lower prescription drug costs, and ensure protections are there for people with pre-existing conditions. I will work to protect funding for Planned Parenthood and women’s access to health care. And I will fight to put an end to the opioid epidemic, a national public health emergency that demands comprehensive, evidence-based solutions to treat and prevent opioid abuse while ensuring Congress and federal law enforcement agencies hold the drug manufacturers that fueled this crisis accountable.
I’ve spent over three decades as an educator in New York public schools, teaching and mentoring thousands of our young people. As an educator and as a mom, I believe all of our children deserve access to a high-quality education that prepares them for their future, whether it’s a four-year college or a career and technical school. I will work to make sure our schools and our teachers have the resources they need. That means reducing class sizes, fully funding special education programs, reining in college tuition costs and student debt, and expanding Pell Grants. Too often, the conversation politicians in Washington are having about post-secondary education is limited to four-year universities. As a guidance counselor at Wilson Technological Center in Farmingdale, serving on the executive board and scholarship committee for the Association of Long Island Vocational Educators (ALIVE), and as a member of SkillsUSA, I have worked to empower our students with the technical skills and career training they need to succeed in the workforce, with or without a four-year degree. In Congress, I will push to expand career and technical education opportunities for our district to grow our skilled workforce.
As a veteran, I know the challenges faced by soldiers returning to civilian life, and for military families both during and after their loved one’s deployment. As Chair of the Town of Babylon Veterans Advisory Council, I helped connect veterans and their families with resources that can often be difficult to learn about, navigate and access, and I have worked with the Wounded Warrior Project for years to raise funds and awareness through Soldier Ride in Babylon. As a member of Congress, I will push to strengthen education, career training, health, and housing assistance for veterans, work with veterans and their families to help them access existing resources, and ensure quality health care through the VA. The men and women who fought for this country deserve representatives in Congress who will fight for them.
Every day, families are getting squeezed by rising health care costs, taxes, and college tuition, while our wages have stagnated. Meanwhile, career politicians in Washington are giving tax breaks to the wealthy donors and corporate special interests that fund their campaigns and adding nearly $2 trillion to our national debt to pay for it. As a Babylon Town Councilwoman, I have always put the people I represent first. We have been able to strengthen our local economy, improve infrastructure, and breathe new life into our neighborhoods by partnering with small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and the community. As your Congresswoman, I will work to grow economic opportunity, push for tax relief for the middle class, and make sure the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share.
I was trained on the use of assault weapons over my 29 years in the U.S. Army Reserve and I used them in Iraq and Afghanistan. I know what they’re capable of. These weapons of war have no place on the streets of our neighborhoods or the hallways of our schools. It is long past time we enacted common-sense gun violence protection measures, like instituting universal background checks so violent criminals, domestic abusers, and those prohibited from owning guns for mental health reasons cannot take advantage of loopholes to harm others, stopping illegal gun trafficking, and making sure Extreme Risk Protection Orders (also known as red flag laws), already in place in New York and 16 other states, are there for the rest of the country.
I will never forget when Hurricane Sandy devastated our South Shore, just two weeks after I returned from my deployment to Afghanistan. Here on Long Island, we’ve experienced firsthand the consequences of climate change and environmental degradation. Groundwater contamination, pollution of our Great South Bay, and rising sea levels present imminent threats to our local economy and quality of life. And as a combat veteran, I understand that climate change poses a real and present threat to our security at home and abroad. We need leaders who will stand up to corporate polluters and put Long Island’s health and safety above special interests. As your representative, I will fight to preserve our clean water, combat carbon pollution, and stop the dangerous rollback of environmental protections in Washington. I will also advocate for renewable energy projects that will meet our growing energy needs and lower greenhouse gas emissions, while creating quality jobs on Long Island. [23] |

Andrew Garbarino
Garbarino’s campaign website stated the following:
“ |
It is important now, more than ever, that we support our brave men and women in blue. They took an oath to protect and serve our community and have gone above and beyond in doing so. Now, our law enforcement officers are under attack, and it is our turn to stand by them – Andrew has done just that.
Andrew stands by what he says which is why he has been endorsed by great law enforcement unions across the state Like the New York State Troopers PBA, PBA of New York State, Port Authority PBA, NYPD Detective Endowment Association, the Suffolk County PBA, Suffolk County SOA, Suffolk County Detectives Association, Suffolk County Detective Investigators Association, Suffolk County Sheriff PBA, and the Suffolk County Police Conference. Andrew has wholeheartedly backed New York’s finest as your assemblyman and will continue to do the same as your next Congressman because our brave men and women in blue deserve elected officials who have their back, not put targets on it.
The heroin and opioid abuse crisis is a disease that’s touched the lives of so many Long Islanders. We must be compassionate yet vigilant in combating this epidemic if we are to overcome it. During his time as an assemblyman, Andrew voted to:
Andrew also supports strengthening laws to punish and hold drug dealers accountable, such as the enactment of the “Death by Dealer” felony law. In addition, Andrew has worked to help and educate the community in ways beyond just policymaking. Andrew has hosted several NARCAN training sessions in which attendees both learned how to properly administer NARCAN to an overdose victim and were given a free kit to take with them. He has also partnered with local organizations to host “Shed the Med” events to give people a safe and secure opportunity to turn in unneeded prescription medication.
Our Nation’s veterans bravely served their country so that we may all live free. It’s only right that we support and fight for those veterans who put their lives on the line for us. That means keeping our commitments to those who served. That means making sure that the VA is run well and efficiently. And that means when our troops come home from serving overseas, we continue to support them with the job training and the mental health treatment they rightfully deserve. During Andrew’s time in the New York State Assembly, he has successfully fought to restore funding for the Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Counseling Program. Additionally, Andrew has voted to:
He also supports the Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise Act, which would extend benefits offered to minority and women-owned businesses to veterans. Andrew will continue to fight for our American heroes in the halls of Congress.
The Great South Bay is one of our community’s greatest resources. Protecting the bay is in our best interest to both protect our environment and our economy. As a third-generation Long Islander, Andrew wants all future generations to be able to grow up with the same bay that he has been so fortunate to enjoy. Whether it’s boating over the weekend, fishing with family and friends, or just relaxing at your local beach – the bay is one of the reasons we all love Long Island. Saving the Great South Bay will require engaging members of our community, cleaning up the creeks and streams, and eliminating the waste polluting our waterways. Additionally, we need to make sure that the federal government continues to contribute its fair share in protecting this national treasure. That is exactly why Andrew has voted to:
Andrew will bring these same values to Congress to fight to protect Long Islanders and save our beautiful Great South Bay environment.
Transparency is key to building trust, which is why it is imperative we bring transparency to our government at the local, state, and federal levels. You elect your representatives to be your voice and represent you, but that can’t happen without transparency. Andrew strongly believes in the importance of transparency.
Andrew has fought for transparency at the state level in Albany and has pledged to continue that fight at the federal level in Washington, D.C.
China is an adversary of the United States, and Andrew believes we must do more to counteract their increasing grabs for international power. China is constantly trying to attack the United States and our allies in unconventional ways, whether that be economically or technologically. China has pursued unfair economic practices for many years. It is necessary we fight to keep Chinese-owned technology and telecommunications companies, Huawei, out of our data, infrastructure, and networks. These companies are influenced by the Chinese Communist Party and pose a serious national security risk to our great nation. We must be tough on a country that did not alert the proper channels and work to stop the spread of COVID-19 before it became a global pandemic. We must be tough on a country that is committing atrocities against its own people. Andrew will fight to be tough on China until they change their policies and behaviors.
Andrew is committed to improving our healthcare system by lowering costs and providing more choices for consumers. Congress should have never completely restructured our nation’s healthcare system as they did with the Affordable Care Act. While some reforms were surely needed, they should have been made by fixing and adding to the system we had in place. Andrew has voted to:
Additionally, during these uncertain times, Andrew has continued to fight for the safety and wellbeing of Long Islanders. Not only has he worked with other community leaders to donate PPE and hand sanitizer to local businesses and organizations, Andrew has voted to:
Long Islanders have one of the highest costs of living across the entire United States. Andrew is a firm believer in lowering taxes for the hardworking families and small businesses in our community. Long Islanders will continue to leave in droves without relief. As a member of the New York State Assembly, Andrew voted to enact the Small Business Full Employment Act to provide various tax cuts to support small businesses, reduce regulatory burdens on small businesses, eliminate the unnecessary 18-A energy tax assessment, and prohibit any new unfunded mandates. He also voted to place a limit on the real property tax for certain owners and provide a personal income tax credit for certain property taxpayers. Additionally, Andew voted to establish the real property tax exemption task force in order to reexamine such exemptions to make sure extra burdens are not being carried over to the homeowners and small businesses of New York. Just last year he rallied against a commuter tax put on Long Island Residents driving into Manhattan. In Washington, I will join Congressman Suozzi, and Zeldin to fight for a repeal of the SALT cap that unfairly targets Long Islanders.
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. We must support our small businesses and not place any further undue burdens on them. Andrew is proud to be endorsed by The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In the New York State Assembly, Andrew voted to require the Division for Small Business to publish a small business compliance guide to inform small business owners and operators of statutory and regulatory changes annually. He voted to direct Empire State Development to publish and maintain a list of available programs to assist small businesses to assist small businesses doing business in New York. Andrew also recognizes the hard work and importance of small businesses to our community, which is why he voted to establish a historic business preservation registry that would include historic businesses that have operated for at least fifty years in contributing to their communities’ history.
