In the upcoming election for New York's 4th Congressional District, incumbent Anthony D'Esposito, a 42-year-old alumnus of Hofstra University and current U.S. Representative, is running for re-election. He is representing the Republican Party. His opponent, Laura Gillen, is the Democratic nominee. She is a former Hempstead Town supervisor and litigator, who completed her undergraduate studies at Georgetown University. This is a rematch of the 2022 election.
The United States House of Representatives is currently composed of 212 Democrats, 220 Republicans, and three vacancies. 51% of the district’s population is non-Hispanic white, while 22% are Hispanic. 19% of the district’s population is Black, and 8% are Asian.
In the 2020 Presidential election, Joe Biden won the district by a margin of 14.5%. The 2022 House race was highly competitive, but D’Esposito emerged as the winner with a margin of just under 3%. As the district remains competitive, the election results for this upcoming race will influence the balance of power in the House, where Republicans currently hold a slight majority.
