Incumbent Nicholas J. LaLota (R) defeated John Avlon (D) in the general election for New York's 1st Congressional District on November 5, 2024. Click here for detailed results.
At the time of the election, Republicans had represented New York's 1st Congressional District since 2014, which was the last time New York voted under a new Congressional map. Four major election forecasters each rated the general election Likely Republican.
LaLota served in the U.S. Navy from 1996 to 2007. He received a bachelor's degree from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis in 2000, a master's degree in business administration from Hofstra University in 2012, and a law degree from Hofstra University in 2020.[1] LaLota worked as the chief of staff to the Suffolk County Legislature, commissioner of the Suffolk County Board of Elections, chief of staff for a New York senator, and a veterans advocate with the U.S. House of Representatives.[1][2]
LaLota completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. In it, he said, "As a Navy Veteran and father of three young girls, the safety and security of this nation is one of my top priorities. As a member of the Armed Services and Homeland Security Committees I’ve been able to play a pivotal role in keeping Americans safe. From border security and backing law enforcement to supporting our troops and ensuring we have the greatest military in the world, I’m proud to fight every day to make sure every American is safe."
Avlon received a bachelor's degree from Yale University in 1996 and a master's degree in business administration from Columbia University in 2006.[3] He worked as a speechwriter at the New York mayor's office for former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R), a columnist and editor for the New York Sun and Newsweek, an editor-in-chief for the Daily Beast, and a political analyst for CNN.[4]
Avlon completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. In it, he said, "I am a common-sense Democrat running to flip a swing seat from red to blue in Suffolk County, New York. In 2024, we need to build the broadest possible coalition to defend our democracy, defeat Donald Trump, and win back Congress from his MAGA minions, who aren’t even trying to solve problems anymore. When this hyper-partisan fever breaks, we need to restore faith that American government can work for Suffolk County families again by rebuilding the middle class, protecting reproductive freedom, combating climate change and defending our democracy. We need to reduce the cost of living and improve the quality of life."
Based on third-quarter reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, LaLota raised $4 million and spent $3.1 million, and Avlon raised $4.7 million and spent $3.8 million. To review all the campaign finance figures in full detail, click here.

Submitted Biography: "I’m Congressman Nick LaLota, a lifelong Long Islander and graduate of St. Anthony's High School in South Huntington and the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. I’m the son and grandson of Police Officers. After serving in the U.S. Navy for 11 years and deploying overseas three times, I returned to Long Island to marry my high school sweetheart, Kaylie, and we are raising our three daughters here in Suffolk County. I earned an MBA and a JD from Hofstra University and am licensed to practice law in New York State. In Congress, I’m fighting every day to lower the cost of living, support working families, secure the border, and ensure our military remains the greatest fighting force for good the world has ever known."

Submitted Biography: "I'm a native New Yorker, the grandson of immigrants and the father of two young kids. I’ve worked most of my career as a journalist and author, recently as a CNN anchor and senior political analyst, where my Reality Check segments aired on the morning show and across the network. I joined CNN fulltime after working as Editor-in-Chief and Managing Director of The Daily Beast for five years – during which time we won 17 awards for journalistic excellence and were blacklisted by the Trump campaign, which I consider a badge of honor. I’ve written four books – Independent Nation, Wingnuts, Washington’s Farewell and Lincoln & the Fight for Peace. Previously, I was a columnist and served as chief speechwriter to the Mayor of New York during the attacks of 9/11. I first became engaged with politics because I was inspired by Bill Clinton’s presidential campaigns and his centrist Democrat “third way” approach to politics. My wife is Margaret Hoover, the host of Firing Line on PBS. I live in Sag Harbor, New York. I decided to get in the arena and run for office when I realized that Trump was going to be renominated by Republicans after his attempt to overturn an election on the back of a lie that led to an attack on our capitol. I believe that now is the time for our generation to step up and defend our democracy – and I didn’t want to look back and tell my children that I could have done more when it mattered most. That’s why I’m running for Congress."

John Avlon (D)
Addressing the cost crisis and rebuilding the middle Class: Washington Republicans raised our taxes so they could fund billions more in tax breaks for corporations and the super-rich. They used the tax code as a partisan weapon by capping the State and Local Tax Deduction, which targeted blue states. Long Island families have depended on the SALT deduction for decades. But Washington Republicans are never going to restore it because their party is just too invested in the partisan red-state/blue-state divide. But Democrats can and will restore the SALT deductions if we if we take back
Congress. I’ll also fight to increase the Child Tax Credit to help working families and move more kids out of poverty.
Reproductive Freedom: The decision to have an abortion should be between a woman, her doctor, and her God – not the government. But women today are growing up with fewer rights
than their mothers had. Trump’s Supreme Court appointees took away the constitutional right to reproductive freedom after 50 years of Roe v Wade – and they lied to the American people about their determination to do it. Nick LaLota cheered the repeal of Roe and said he wants states to go further. Now, Donald Trump is saying that women should have
their pregnancies tracked while states a further restricting this right and the Republican Speaker support a national abortion ban. We need a
Nicholas J. LaLota (Republican, Conservative)
Fighting to make Long Island more affordable: Brought $150 million back to Suffolk for clean water, jobs, and infrastructure. Leading the fight to restore the SALT deduction and reduce prices by unleashing American energy. Secured $676 million for 9/11 First Responders. Successfully fighting for more high-paying Long Island defense jobs. Championed cutting $2.1 trillion in federal spending while protecting Social Security, Medicare, and Veterans Health Care.
Common-sense problem solver: Fighting problems, not people. Member of the Bipartisan Problem Solvers and For Country Caucuses, prioritizing solutions over partisanship. Demanding accountability from federal officials on both sides of the aisle. Blocked a Republican House Speaker candidate who opposed Long Island’s priorities: Restoring the SALT Deduction, funding 9/11 First Responders and supporting the National Flood Insurance Program.

With Democrats currently controlling the White House and Senate and Republicans controlling the House, negotiating and delivering bipartisan solutions to the American people can be difficult, but necessary. With this in mind, I have done my best to be a common-sense problem solver in such a divided environment. In doing so, I am a proud member of several bipartisan caucuses:
the Problem Solvers Caucus, where for every Republican member there must be a Democrat counterpart willing to find common ground to improve the lives of the American people; the For Country Caucus, comprised of military Veterans looking to work across the aisle for the betterment of our nation; I’m a proud co-chair of the bipartisan Long Island Sound Caucus, which works to improve and preserve our vital natural resource and ecological system; and many others, including the Climate Solutions Caucus and the SALT Caucus!
These caucuses have been on the front lines bringing real solutions to the table including the bipartisan Defending Borders, Defending Democracy Act, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA); the Long Island Sound Stewardship and Restoration Act; the Plum Island National Monument Act; and more.
I will always be willing to work with anyone regardless of party to find common ground and deliver real results for Long Island and the American people.

Congress is solely responsible for the oversight of federal agencies, and it must take action when these agencies fail to fulfill their duties. After nearly a year-long investigation, it became clear that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas willfully and systematically refused to comply with the law, thereby breaching the public’s trust. Secretary Mayorkas also refused to cooperate with the Homeland Security Committee during its investigation. For these reasons, I solemnly supported the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas.
I was one of the first Republicans to hold George Santos, a member of my political party, accountable for his lies, misuse of campaign funds, and breaking campaign finance laws. I was among the first Members of Congress to call for his resignation and expulsion from Congress. Santos has never taken responsibility for his reckless actions; he made a mockery of Congress and the institution. We are better than this, and action was necessary to uphold the high standards of representing the American people. This is why I acted to expel George Santos from the House of Representatives.
I’ve held other Members of Congress accountable for failing to meet these standards: former Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who lied to the American people for political purposes; Rashida Tlaib for antisemitic, false statements inciting violence against supporters of Israel; and Jamaal Bowman, who illegally pulled a fire alarm to disrupt a House vote. Accountability should transcend party lines; all Members of Congress must be held to the same high standards.

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 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
