Brandon Williams (R/Conservative Party) defeated Francis Conole (D) in the general election for New York's 22nd Congressional District on November 8, 2022.
Incumbent Claudia Tenney (R) ran for re-election in New York's 24th Congressional District following redistricting.
Politico's Anna Gronewold and Bill Mahoney wrote that the district "emerged as perhaps the most competitive in the state" after redistricting. The redrawn 22nd overlapped part of the old 24th, which outgoing Rep. John Katko (R) represented. Gronewold and Mahoney wrote that "Katko regularly won crossover votes as the most moderate member of an increasingly polarized Congress, and both parties say that will work to their advantage."[1]
Conole, a Navy Reserve commander, campaigned on protecting Social Security, lowering drug costs, closing corporate tax loopholes, cutting taxes for the middle class, and investing in domestic manufacturing and clean energy.[2][3][4] Conole's campaign said Williams supported allowing states to outlaw abortion without exceptions for rape or incest. Conole said he would "fight for the right of women to make decisions about their own healthcare and their bodies."[5] Conole ran in the 24th District Democratic primary in 2020. Dana Balter defeated Conole 63% to 37%.
Williams, a business owner and former Navy nuclear submarine officer, completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey, where he called himself "a true political outsider." Williams said he had entrepreneurial experience that would help central New York prosper and that Conole "supports Biden's wasteful spending, increasing costs on everything from gas to groceries."[6][7][8] Williams said he "will always promote life while also standing with young mothers to ensure that choice is protected in instances of rape, incest, or life of the mother."[9] Click here to read Williams' survey responses.
The 22nd District was one of 14 U.S. House districts Republicans were defending that Joe Biden (D) won in the 2020 presidential election. According to Daily Kos data, Biden would have defeated Donald Trump (R) in the 22nd District as it was redrawn after the 2020 census 52.6%-45.2%.[10]
The outcome of this race affected the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 118th Congress. All 435 House districts were up for election.

Brandon Williams (Republican, Conservative)
Freedom means restoring our rights as American citizens. Democrats have used false narratives to justify government mandates, lockdowns, compulsory and universal vaccinations, removing parents from schools, and to ignore the sovereignty of our borders Our Constitution says that our rights as citizens are God-given, something I feel Washington needs to be reminded of.
Second, I want to see Central New York prosper again. I want businesses to prosper, I want workers to prosper, I want the poor to prosper. Generational prosperity starts with education – quality public schools that are free from left-wing indoctrination, trade-schools that lead to solid skills and wages, and affordable Community Colleges. We must also foster the growth of our small and medium sized businesses, actively encourage entrepreneurship, and we must attract investment into this region. The Democrats have pursued anti-growth economic policies that have produced high gas prices, high grocery prices, high housing prices, and have snuffed out small businesses. I am a fiscal conservative, I support America’s energy independence and fewer government regulations.
And we must also have safe streets and a return to the rule of law in our country. T

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[11] 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."[12] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
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.[13]
- 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.[14][15][16]

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.
Presidential elections
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+1. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 1 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made New York's 22nd the 204th most Democratic district nationally.[24]
2020 presidential election results
The table below shows what the vote in the 2020 presidential election would have been in this district. The presidential election data was compiled by Daily Kos.
