Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Matt Castelli (Democratic, Moderate)

I spent my career combating extremists and fighting for our national security, I know what it takes to protect American families. We deserve to feel safe in our homes, our schools, and our neighborhoods. I will be a tireless advocate for a strong national security, and to ensure our police have the resources to protect and serve our communities, with additional tools for public safety, addiction, and mental health. I will lead the effort to secure our borders and fix our immigration system – once and for all. And I will work to act now to fight climate change which is a direct threat to our economy and our national security. When we come together we can make Upstate New York a place where everyone knows they are safe, secure, and strong.

All Americans value our freedom. Protecting our freedoms is greater than politics or party, it’s essential to who we are. But extremist politicians are choosing their own party and personal gain over our hard-fought freedoms – banning books, taking away women’s rights, obstructing our right to vote, and threatening the bedrock of our freedom: the integrity of our elections. I will always stand up for our American freedoms – from a woman’s right to choose, to a lawful gun owner’s 2nd Amendment protections, to the right to love who you love and be who you are. And I will never waver in my oath to support and defend the Constitution and protect the fundamental right to vote that is the hallmark of our democracy.

Whether you’re just starting your career, beginning a family, or getting ready to retire, Upstate NY must be a place where everyone can thrive. I'll fight to lower taxes, reduce gas prices, and ensure basic needs like housing and child care don't break the bank. I'll fight for commonsense solutions that strengthen our supply chain, bring jobs back home, and reign in corporations that make record profits by cheating the American people. I will prioritize investments that help the 21st District win the 21st Century like broadband and clean energy. I will never support trade deals that hurt American workers, because when every family, farmer, small business owner, and hardworking American is set up for success, our entire community benefits.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Matt Castelli (Democratic, Moderate)

Bringing down the cost of daily living, investing in our communities to unleash their full potential, ensuring that everyone has access to the care they and their loved ones need, keeping our communities safe, secure, and strong.

General election 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.
• 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.

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.
