The2018 United States House of Representatives elections in New York were held November 6, 2018 to elect aU.S. Representative from each of New York's 27congressional districts. The elections coincided with thegubernatorial election, as well as an election to theUnited States Senate and variousstate andlocal elections.
Contested primaries were held June 26, 2018. On election day, Democrats gained three New York House seats, and the Democratic Party retook control of the House of Representatives. Democrats won a total of 21 New York House seats, while Republicans won six.
Elections were held in all 27 of New York's congressional districts in 2018. Prior to the 2018 elections, one New York House seat was vacant[1] due to the death of Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-25th District) on March 16, 2018.[2] In theJune 26, 2018 Democratic primary in District 14, insurgentAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez upset longtime incumbent Rep.Joe Crowley.[3] On November 6, 2018, the Democratic Party held the open seat in District 25 and defeated three Republican incumbents; with the exception of Crowley, all Democratic incumbent members of Congress in New York were re-elected.[4][5] The defeated Republican incumbents were Rep.Dan Donovan (R-11th District) (defeated by DemocratMax Rose), Rep.John Faso (R-19th District) (defeated by DemocratAntonio Delgado), and Rep.Claudia Tenney (R-22nd District) (defeated by DemocratAnthony Brindisi).[4] Incumbent Rep.Chris Collins (R-27th District) was narrowly re-elected[6] despite having been arrested on insider trading charges in August 2018.[7]
Democrats won a total of 21 New York House seats, while Republicans won six.[4] Nationally, the Democratic Party won control of the House of Representatives on election day.[8]
New York is near unique among the states in that it allowselectoral fusion (cross-endorsement).[9] As a result, New York ballots tend to list many political parties. Most news outlets report election results using only the primary affiliation of party registration of candidates rather than by the party nominees who are elected, and most pollsters group candidates the same way.[10]

The 14th district is located inNew York City and includes the easternBronx and part of north-centralQueens. The incumbent was DemocratJoseph Crowley, a leader of the New Democrat Coalition, who had represented the district since 2013. Crowley previously represented the 7th district from 1999 to 2013. He was re-elected to a tenth term with 83% of the vote in 2016. Crowley, who had been named as a potential successor to Nancy Pelosi as House Leader or Speaker, sought re-election in 2018.[83]
Backed by the organizationBrand New Congress, bartender and activistAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez challenged Crowley in the primary, announcing her campaign in June 2017.[84] Ocasio-Cortez, who had been an organizer inBernie Sanders'2016 presidential campaign,[85] was the first primary challenger Crowley had faced since2004.[84] On May 10, 2018, it was announced that she had gathered enough signatures to appear on the primary ballot.[86] Despite this, most observers concluded that Crowley would win the primary, citing his strong support from elected officials and his large fundraising advantage.[85]
In her campaign, Ocasio-Cortez claimed that Crowley was not progressive enough for the district,[87] and also accused him ofcorruption, stating that he was using his position as chair of the Queens Democratic Party improperly.[84] She aggressively built a presence onsocial media platforms, creating a biographical video promoting her campaign that wentviral.[88][89] Crowley significantly outspent Ocasio-Cortez prior to the primary election.[88]

Following his defeat in the Democratic primary, Crowley remained on the ballot on theWorking Families Party line, but did not actively campaign.[100] Following Ocasio-Cortez's primary win,Joann Ariola, chairwoman of the Queens Republican Party, claimed that the Republican Party had a chance of winning the seat due to Ocasio-Cortez being ademocratic socialist.[101] Michael Rendino, chairman of the Bronx Republican Party, was more skeptical, declaring that "even if Crowley and Ocasio-Cortez split the vote, we'd still lose two-to-one".[101]
Professor Anthony Pappas was the Republican nominee, but was disavowed by the Queens and Bronx Republican Parties after he was accused of committingdomestic violence.[101] Several Republicans approached both the Queens and Bronx Republican parties with the intent of replacing Pappas on the ballot, but Pappas refused to withdraw from the race.[101] Pappas's campaign was based around the abolition ofjudicial immunity, which he argued had led to judges becoming unaccountable for their actions.[101] Pappas's campaign manager attempted to convince him to run an aggressive campaign against Ocasio-Cortez, but he refused.[101]
