Which New York representatives in the 118th Congress are newly elected in 2024?
Executive summary
The 118th Congress ran from January 3, 2023 to January 3, 2025; several New York House seats changed hands during that term through expulsions and special elections, and additional turnover occurred in the November 2024 elections that populated the next (119th) Congress (the 118th concluded Jan. 3, 2025) [1]. Available sources show at least two New York changes inside the 118th: the expulsion of Rep. George Santos (NY-3) in December 2023 and the February 13, 2024 special-election win by Tom Suozzi to fill that seat [1] [2] [3]. Ballotpedia and state-level reporting list other 2024 general-election outcomes for New York that produced newly elected members for the next Congress but do not provide a single, consolidated list in the supplied sources [4] [5].
1. How “newly elected in 2024” differs by timeline
“Newly elected in 2024” can mean two different things in the New York context: people elected in 2024 to fill vacancies during the 118th Congress (special elections) and people elected in November 2024 to serve in the 119th Congress beginning January 3, 2025. The 118th Congress itself ended Jan. 3, 2025, so turnover counted as “new members of the 118th” includes those sworn during 2023–2024, including winners of special elections [1] [3].
2. Expulsion created the clearest mid‑term “new” member: NY‑3
Rep. George Santos (NY-3) — elected in 2022 — was expelled by the House on December 1, 2023, creating a vacancy [1]. A special election on February 13, 2024, produced Tom Suozzi (D) as the victor to succeed Santos, a change explicitly reported in multiple sources [2] [3]. That special-election winner is the most direct example in available reporting of a New York representative who became newly seated in 2024.
3. Other documented special elections in New York during the 118th
Ballotpedia’s compendium of special elections to the 118th Congress lists New York’s 3rd and 26th districts among special contests in 2024, noting the NY‑3 special on Feb. 13 and NY‑26 on April 30, 2024 [3]. Ballotpedia explicitly records Tom Suozzi defeating Mazi Pilip in the NY‑3 special [3]. The sources name NY‑26’s special-election date but do not, in the supplied snippets, state the winner for that district — available sources do not mention the NY‑26 victor in the excerpts provided [3].
4. November 2024 general elections produced many “new” House members — but reporting is fragmented
The November 5, 2024 general election in New York determined 26 House seats and therefore produced multiple newly elected representatives for the next Congress (the 119th) [4]. City & State New York reported on competitive races and named specific outcomes — for example, Democrat Josh Riley defeating incumbent Marc Molinaro (NY‑19) and Nick LaLota winning reelection in NY‑1 — but the supplied materials do not present a consolidated list of every New York freshman elected in November 2024 [5] [6] [4].
5. What the compiled sources confirm and what they don’t
Confirmed by the supplied reporting: George Santos’s expulsion and the Feb. 13, 2024 special-election victory by Tom Suozzi to fill NY‑3 [1] [2] [3]. Ballotpedia and state-election pages confirm New York held its regular House elections Nov. 5, 2024, producing multiple winners who would be “newly elected in 2024” for the 119th Congress, but a complete, source‑cited list of every New York freshman from the November 2024 general election is not present in the provided snippets [4] [5]. Available sources do not mention a single, authoritative roster of all New York members newly elected in calendar year 2024 to either the 118th (via special elections) or the 119th (via general election).
6. Why definitions and source selection matter for your question
If you mean “which New York representatives were first elected (or newly seated) at any point during calendar year 2024,” the Suozzi special‑election win is the clearest, documented instance for the 118th [3]. If you mean “which representatives from New York were elected in the November 2024 general election and thus are freshmen in the 119th Congress,” the state’s Nov. 5, 2024 elections produced multiple such members but the supplied sources must be mined individually [4] [5]. Different outlets and aggregators (Ballotpedia, City & State, official state election pages) record parts of this story; none of the provided snippets gives a single, definitive list to quote in full [3] [4] [5].
If you want, I can compile a sourced list of every New York winner from the Nov. 5, 2024 general election (the new freshman class for the 119th Congress) and cross‑check special‑election winners for the 118th — but I will need permission to query the full results pages from Ballotpedia, state election returns, and the House membership roll cited above so each name can be cited precisely [4] [3] [7].
