Incumbent Republican Nick Langworthy holds a commanding lead in New York’s 23rd congressional district, a seat rated Solid Republican by the Cook Political Report with an R+10 partisan voter index. Langworthy advanced unopposed through the June 2026 Republican primary while maintaining a substantial fundraising advantage over Democratic nominee Aaron Gies, who won his primary. Recent September polling from Cygnal and Public Policy Polling showed Langworthy ahead by roughly 20 points, reflecting the district’s consistent Republican tilt in recent cycles and limited name recognition for Gies. A late scandal, sharp national political shift, or unusually high Democratic turnout could still narrow the margin before the November 3 general election.
