Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "This is my first political campaign, and my personal experiences drove me to run. I began my career working in the sports industry. I've worked for the New York Jets and Washington Commanders, and I was the youngest partnership executive in the history of FC Barcelona. I was also the owner of a small business focusion manufacturing and fleshing out apparel lines for a variety of clients. This is where I learned to work with the goal of getting results, but I also was incredibly frustrated with the level of support I was receiving from the government; I was being taxed more than I made, and the tens of thousands of small businesses on Long Island were also left out to dry. Suddenly, I was diagnosed with a rare disease that left me blind in my left eye. I turned to my insurance company for help to cover the extreme costs of treatment, and I was not provided with relief. When I found out that these companies heavily funded my Representative, I knew that I needed to take action. Not only do I deserve better, but all of my neighbors do as well."

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

---

I am a political outsider, and I have never ran for public office before. I am simply a disgruntled voter in Lindenhurst who felt that my representative was not doing enough for my neighbors and I. I am in the business of getting things done, and I am willing to work with whoever to make sure that the south shore is receiving the funding and leadership that it deserves. We need to restore some faith in our democracy by electing individuals worthy of our trust, and I vow to be just that.

---

We need to bring things back to basics and put money back in the pockets of the middle class. I am a staunch supporter of repealing the SALT cap and expanding upon the Child Tax Credit. So many families on Long Island are in dire need of financial relief, and when elected I will champion this cause. People are leaving Long Island in droves, and it is because homeownership is unattainable for young adults. Buying a home with my fiance has been nearly impossible, and I will work with local-level officials across the district to secure more affordable housing options. I will also provide support for first-time homeowners and support bills that do so.

---

I am making an initiative to make myself as available as possible to my neighbors. I want to make it very clear that I am here to listen. For far too long the Second District has been neglected by their representative. Whether its Brentwood or Mastic Beach, I am taking note of the real issues facing our constituents and when elected I plan to take action. We need representatives that show up and are a part of their communities.

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

I am a political outsider, and I have never ran for public office before. I am simply a disgruntled voter in Lindenhurst who felt that my representative was not doing enough for my neighbors and I. I am in the business of getting things done, and I am willing to work with whoever to make sure that the south shore is receiving the funding and leadership that it deserves. We need to restore some faith in our democracy by electing individuals worthy of our trust, and I vow to be just that.

We need to bring things back to basics and put money back in the pockets of the middle class. I am a staunch supporter of repealing the SALT cap and expanding upon the Child Tax Credit. So many families on Long Island are in dire need of financial relief, and when elected I will champion this cause. People are leaving Long Island in droves, and it is because homeownership is unattainable for young adults. Buying a home with my fiance has been nearly impossible, and I will work with local-level officials across the district to secure more affordable housing options. I will also provide support for first-time homeowners and support bills that do so.

I am making an initiative to make myself as available as possible to my neighbors. I want to make it very clear that I am here to listen. For far too long the Second District has been neglected by their representative. Whether its Brentwood or Mastic Beach, I am taking note of the real issues facing our constituents and when elected I plan to take action. We need representatives that show up and are a part of their communities.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

I am passionate about healthcare, women's rights, and economic policy. I believe that all Americans have the right to govern their own bodies, receive access to adequate care, and have options that don't sink them financially.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

As a candidate, I'd have to say President Barack Obama. His ability to bring a nation together and rally around one another is something that I aspire to have, and his sheer effectiveness

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

Determination, empathy, and pragmatism.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

I am incredibly determined to give my constituents a Representative that they can look to for help in any circumstance. I have proven to be a team player, and I am willing to work with whomever to deliver results for my constituents.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

First and foremost, someone elected to this office must focus on issues affecting their communities. While we must pay attention to national issues, we can not let them overshadow what is happening at home.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

Most importantly, I would like to be remembered as a good man who had the best interests of his neighbors at heart. I care deeply for my community, and I would love nothing more than to give them effective, compassionate leadership

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

The biggest struggle for me has been my battle with Keratoconus. I am blind in my left eye, and have needed emergency surgery which was left uncovered by my insurance company. This is one of the main reasons I decided to run for office!

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

The House of Representatives plays a crucial role in giving citizens a direct voice in their government. The House’s diversity reflects the broad range of perspectives across the country, making it a key institution for shaping policies that impact everyday lives. Its role in overseeing government spending also ensures that taxpayer money is used in ways that benefit the public.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

While experience in government or politics can be helpful, it’s not always necessary. What matters most is a representative’s ability to understand their constituents’ needs, work hard, and bring fresh ideas to the table. A diversity of backgrounds, including those outside of politics, can make a difference and lead to innovation.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

Political polarization is a serious threat. We’re more divided than ever, and it’s making it harder to get anything done. We have to find ways to bridge these divides and keep our democracy strong.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

Yes.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

Term limits are necessary to an effective democracy. We must introduce new minds who want to make a difference to fulfill the growing needs of our nation.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

Some of the most impactful stories I've heard from residents are about the mismanagement of Roberto Clemente Park in Brentwood. Chemical dumping has been occurring underneath the feet of our children, and there are much greater concerns about the long-term effects of these chemicals on both people and our environment. While Representative Garbarino turns a blind eye to this major community issue, I have vowed to speak up for my constituents and protect them from such preventable disasters.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

Compromise has been, and always will be, necessary. We saw it recently with the bipartisan border bill that got shot down by Trump, without compromise we will never be able to address an issue at its root.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

If elected, I’ll use the House’s power to handle tax and revenue bills to ensure our tax system is fairer and works for working families. I’ll push to close tax loopholes for the wealthy and big corporations while giving relief to middle- and lower-income Americans. I’ll also focus on using tax dollars to invest in our roads, schools, and healthcare. This power is key to making sure that government policies reflect our communities' needs.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

The U.S. House should use its investigative powers to create transparency, hold government officials and agencies accountable, and protect public interests. Investigations should focus on uncovering wrongdoing, ensuring laws are properly enforced, and addressing issues that directly affect citizens' lives.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

-Communications Workers of America local 1109

-Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State -Chuck Schumer, Senate Majority Leader -Jay Jacobs, NYS Democratic Party Leader -Rich Schaffer, Suffolk County Democratic Committee Chairman -Jason Richberg, Suffolk County Minority Leader -Babylon Town Democratic Committee -Brookhaven Town Democratic Committee -Islip Town Democratic Committee -Congressman Tom Suozzi, NY-03 -Congressman Pat Ryan, NY-18 -Congressman Dan Goldman, NY-10 -Congressman Gregory Meeks, NY-05 -Congresswoman Grace Meng, NY-06 -Congressman Jerry Nadler, NY-12 -Congressman Adriano Espaillat, NY-13

-Congressman Paul Tonko, NY-20

What committees interest you?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

The committees that interest me are small business, foreign affairs, and financial services.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Rob Lubin (Democratic, Working Families)

I believe financial transparency and government accountability are essential to restoring trust. We need stronger measures to ensure government spending is clear and accessible, so taxpayers know where their money is going. I support stricter oversight of government contracts, reforms to strengthen ethics laws, and tougher penalties for corruption. Additionally, I back campaign finance reform to make elected officials accountable to their constituents, not special interests.

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.

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.
