Incumbent Rep. Tom Suozzi (D) and Michael LiPetri Jr. (R/Conservative Party) are running in the general election for New York's 3rd Congressional District on Nov. 3, 2026.
This election is a rematch from 2024, when Suozzi defeated LiPetri 51.7% to 48.1% in the general election. This district is also one of 23 Democratic-held districts that President Donald Trump (R) won in the 2024 presidential election. Trump defeated Kamala Harris (D) 51.4% to 47.1% in the district.
The Cook Political Report's Erin Covey and Matthew Klein wrote that Suozzi's voting record in the U.S. House of Representatives could help him in the general election: "[Suozzi] is a strong incumbent. He has routinely distanced himself from the national party on issues like immigration and crime, most notably by voting for the Laken Riley Act."
