2022 New York congressional primary election results

As of early Wednesday morning, The New York Times editorial board had a perfect record in New York’s congressional primaries. Rep. Jerry Nadler, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney and candidate Dan Goldman – all endorsed by the Times – were declared winners in their hotly contested Democratic primaries.

Nadler’s victory over Rep. Carolyn Maloney in the newly drawn 12th Congressional District put an end to Maloney’s decadeslong career in Congress – and an end to one of the more acrimonious primary contests this year.

State Sen. Alessandra Biaggi suffered a big defeat in the Democratic primary for the new 17th Congressional District to Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney.

Early Wednesday morning, The Associated Press called former House impeachment counsel Dan Goldman as the winner of the intensely competitive Democratic primary in the 10th Congressional District spanning parts of Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. Assembly Member Yuh-Line Niou – running to Goldman’s left with the support of the Working Families Party – trailed by a little over 1,000 votes.

While Tuesday night was largely about primary races, two special elections were also on the ballot – including the race to replace current Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado in the Hudson Valley’s purple 19th District. Shortly after midnight, Democrat Pat Ryan was declared the winner in that race over Republican Marc Molinaro. The district has been watched as a bellwether for how other battleground districts might turn this November as Democrats across the country fight to hang on to their razor-thin majority in Congress.

In the special election to replace former Rep. Tom Reed in the 23rd Congressional District, Southern Tier voters predictably opted to send Republican Joe Sempolinski to Congress for the next four months over Democrat Max Della Pia.

In the Republican primary for the new 23rd Congressional District, state Republican Party Chair Nick Langworthy bested former gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino by just a few thousand votes. 

Early results Tuesday night saw other Democratic incumbents, including Rep. Jamaal Bowman winning as well as former Rep. Max Rose securing a second shot at Congress as the Democratic nominee in the 11th District.

Although a handful of incumbents find themselves battling to extend their congressional careers in this year’s primaries, other incumbents across the state – including Reps. Andrew Garbarino, Gregory Meeks, Grace Meng, Nydia Velázquez, Hakeem Jeffries, Yvette Clarke, Nicole Malliotakis, Adriano Espaillat, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ritchie Torres, Paul Tonko, Elise Stefanik, Claudia Tenney, Joseph Morelle and Brian Higgins – have either no challengers or uncompetitive primaries. Some of those representatives, however, will face more competitive races in November’s general election.

Carolyn Maloney ended soon after polls closed on Tuesday night with Nadler – who has long represented the West Side of Manhattan – leading Maloney, a veteran member of Congress, with over 50% of the vote. “Well New York…we did it!” Nadler tweeted on Tuesday. “I’m so deeply grateful for your continued support and trust – I promise to keep on fighting for New Yorkers in Congress. Onwards!”
