New York voters are choosing a replacement for Democrat Brian Higgins in a congressional district where Democrats have a long record of success. Higgins cited the “slow and frustrating” pace of Congress before resigning in February. Local party officials handpicked the nominees for Tuesday's special election. Democrats chose Buffalo state Sen.
FILE - Rep. Brian Higgins , D-N.Y., speaks during a House Committee on Oversight hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, on June 8, 2022. House Republicans’ majority could tighten by another vote after Tuesday’s special congressional election in Buffalo – at least, temporarily. Voters are choosing a replacement for Higgins, a longtime House member who cited the “slow and frustrating” pace of Congress before resigning in February.
Rather than holding a traditional primary, local party officials handpick the nominees in New York special elections for Congress. Democrats chose Buffalo state Sen. Tim Kennedy, while Republicans nominated West Seneca Town Supervisor Gary Dickson.just recently approved new congressional maps, which will go into effect for the 2024 election. For now, New York is filling Higgins’ vacancy under the old congressional lines.
For lots of voters in the congressional district, the two nominees will be familiar names. For over a decade, Kennedy has represented Buffalo in the state Senate in a district that overlaps with the 26th Congressional District. Dickson, meanwhile, appeared on the ballot in West Seneca in 2019 and 2023, though in a much smaller election for town supervisor.
The AP does not make projections and will declare a winner only when it’s determined there is no scenario that would allow the trailing candidates to close the gap. If a race has not been called, the AP will continue to cover any newsworthy developments, such as candidate concessions or declarations of victory. In doing so, the AP will make clear that it has not yet declared a winner and explain why.
