NY-9 Democratic Primary
Democratic incumbent Yvette Clarke has been in Congress since 2007 representing Southeast Brooklyn. This territory was once in the district of long-time Congressman Emmanuel Celler. He lost his primary in 1972 to Elizabeth Holtzman. Clarke had a somewhat-close call in 2018 when Adem Bunkeddeko held her to a 53-47% victory. Bunkeddeko is challenging her again, but with three other candidates in the race the outcome is uncertain.

NY-10 Democratic Primary
Democratic incumbent Jerry Nadler is a power-player in the House Democratic Caucus. As Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, he has proven that he can hold the Trump administration accountable for actions that he views as “unethical”. Nadler is a favorite in his primary, and Progressives may be re-assured by AOC’s endorsement last week. He faces main opposition in Lindsey Boylan. Former Yang 2020 staffer Jonathan Herzog is also running. His district runs down the western side of Manhattan, including the Upper West End, Greenwich Village, the Financial District, and a sliver of Brooklyn.

- (D) Jerry Nadler (6,410 votes) (65.6%)
- (D) Lindsey Boylan (2,256 votes) (23.1%)
- (D) Jonathan Herzog (1,110 votes) (11.4%)
NY-11 Republican Primary
Staten Island is yielding yet another competitive Republican Primary this cycle. The prize this time is the seat of freshman Democrat Max Rose, who defeated incumbent Republican Dan Donovan in 2018. The main candidate here is Nicole Malliotakis, a popular State Legislator from Staten Island. Malliotakis is challenged by Joseph Calaredra, a former Special Victims Prosecutor. Malliotakis has the endorsement of establishment Republicans, including President Trump. Calaredra has the support of noted House Conservative Paul Gosar, a US Rep from rural west Arizona. He also has support from former candidate Joey Saladino, a noted neo-Nazi. Malliotakis won Staten Island with 70% of the vote in the 2017 Mayoral Race, which leads her to be a primary favorite here. Elections Daily rates this seat as Lean Democrat.

- (R) Nicole Malliotakis (8,612 votes) (68.5%)
- (R) Joe Calaredra (3,955 votes) (31.5%)
NY-15 Democratic Primary
New York-15 has quickly become one of the most important Democratic primaries of this Congressional cycle. It all started when long-time Democratic Congressman Jose Serrano retired because of Parkinson’s Disease. The district is predominantly located in the Bronx. The two leading candidates are Councilman Ruben Diaz, a socially conservative Democrat who remains unpopular with the national party, and fellow councilman Ritchie Torres, the most prominent progressive candidate. However, countless other progressive candidates, including the personal choice of AOC and Bernie Sanders, Samelys Lopez, will likely split the progressive vote. This could cause problems for Torres.

- (D) Ruben Diaz (1,826 votes) (14.2%)
- (D) Ritchie Torres (3,978 votes) (31.0%)
- (D) Samelys Lopez (1,588 votes) (12.4%)
- (D) Michael Blake (2,501 votes) (19.5%)
- (D) Tomas Ramos (320 votes) (2.5%)
NY-16 Democratic Primary
New York-16 is turning into, what appears to be, the best opportunity for progressives to knock off an incumbent Democrat. That Democrat is Eliot Engel. He chairs the Foreign Relations Committee, has served in Congress since 1988 (he ironically beat the incumbent in the primary, though he had dropped out following allegations of corruption by then) and has the establishment support of well-known Democrats like Andrew Cuomo, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer. He is being challenged by an energetic young candidate named Jamaal Bowman. Bowman is, in the eyes of some, considered a favorite here. He has started a strong local movement, been a solid fundraiser, and even amassed a strong social media following. The latest poll by Data for Progress also showed Bowman ahead by 10%. This is a key primary to watch on Tuesday. This district includes portions of the Bronx, as well as southern Westchester County

- (D) Eliot Engel (2,468 votes) (36.8%)
- (D) Jamaal Bowman (4,096 votes) (61.1%)
NY-17 Democratic Primary
New York-17 is another key Democratic House primary to watch this Tuesday. Long-time Democratic incumbent Nita Lowley is retiring, which has opened the flood-gates for a competitive Democratic contest. The three main candidates are Assemblyman David Buchwald, Fmr Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Evelyn Farkas, and progressive attorney Mondaire Jones. This will be another key primary for progressives to win. This district is located in the lower Hudson valley

- (D) Christopher Fink (0 votes) (0.0%)
- (D) Sammy Ravelo (0 votes) (0.0%)
NY-19 Republican Primary
Freshman Democrat Antonio Delgado represents a Republican district on paper, but his re-election is looking increasingly likely. The two Republican primary candidates are relatively obscure, and neither has the fundraising to compete in the general election. Millbrook Attorney Kyle Van de Water and fashion designer Ola Hawatmeh are both running. Elections Daily currently rates this seat as Likely Democrat.
19% reporting – Too Early to Call
- (R) Kyle Van de Water (100 votes) (54.1%)
- (R) Ola Hawatmeh (85 votes) (45.9%)
NY-22 Republican Primary
Freshman Democrat Anthony Brindisi represents a strong Trump seat that flipped narrowly in 2018. Despite personal qualms many local Republicans have with Former Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, the 2020 primary frontrunner, it is not hard to see many of them supporting her in a Presidential year. It will be interesting to watch the Tenney protest vote against Republican George Phillips, the 2010 nominee against Fmr Congressman Hinchey in the old seat here. Elections Daily rates this seat as a Tossup.

- (R) Claudia Tenney (0 votes) (0.0%)
- (R) George Phillips (0 votes) (0.0%)
NY-27 Special Election
New York-27, located far up-state, has its special election today. The Republican nominee is Chris Jacobs, a New York State Senator. The Democrat is Nate McMurray, a town supervisor who came within a hair of flipping the typically Safe-Republican seat in 2018. With disgraced Former Rep. Chris Collins off the ballot though, this seat is Safe for the Republicans. Elections Daily rates this seat as Safe Republican.

- (R) Chris Jacob (0 votes) (0.0%)
