In the upcoming election for New York's 18th Congressional District, the race features incumbent Democrat Pat Ryan and Republican Alison Esposito. Pat Ryan, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, currently serves as the U.S. Representative for this district. His opponent, Alison Esposito, is a retired deputy inspector from the New York City Police Department.
The current composition of the United States House of Representatives stands at 212 Democrats, 220 Republicans, and 3 vacancies. The district’s population is 63% non-Hispanic white, with Hispanics making up 18%, Blacks making up 13%, and Asians making up 4%.
In the 2020 Presidential election, Joe Biden won the district by a margin of 9 percent. The 2022 House election in this district was closely contested, with Ryan emerging as the winner by a margin of under 2%. Given the competitive nature of the past elections and the current closely divided House, this race is likely to attract significant attention as both parties vie for control.
