Congressional races on NYC ballots

While the presidential race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton has been the focus in this election cycle, there are a number of other races that will appear on your ballot on Nov. 8.

In New York, Sen. Chuck Schumer is up for re-election, as well as a number of representatives in the House. There are 13 congressional districts that represent parts of New York City. (You can check what district you live in here.)

In 11 districts, the House of Representatives incumbents are running for re-election, but seats in the 3rd and 13th Districts will definitely be filled with new representatives. Rep. Steve Israel in the 3rd District and Rep. Charles Rangel in the 13th District are finishing their last terms as representatives this year.

There are also State Senate, state Assembly and local court elections, but the districts are not the same as the congressional districts. Check here to see what state-level races will be on your ballot.
