Democrat Thomas Suozzi Wins Reelection to U.S. House in New York's 3rd Congressional District

On Wednesday, Democrat Tom Suozzi won election to New York's 3rd Congressional District, while Laura Gillen secured the 4th District as two centrist Democrats representing swing Long Island seats rode to victory.
Republican Rep. Mike Lawler conceded around 11 p.m. to Democrat Cait Conley, as Democrats nationally secured enough seats to retake control of the 435-member House they had lost in 2022.
Defending their seats, Long Island Republicans Nick LaLota and Andrew Garbarino defeated Democratic challengers Chris Gallant of Amity Harbor and Patrick Halpin of Oak Beach, though both will transition to the House minority.
In suburban Nassau County, where a fifth of households include at least one Jewish member, Democrats performed strongly in areas previously held by Republicans, reshaping the suburban political landscape.
Only twice in 90 years has a sitting president's party picked up or held seats during a first two-year cycle, Speaker Mike Johnson noted, underscoring the rarity of the current shift.
