Redistricting forced Democratic congressional representatives Carolyn Maloney and Jerome Nadler into a fight for the same seat. Challenger Suraj Patel, who narrowly missed beating Maloney two years ago, also joins the fight along with Ashmi Sheth in the 12th Congressional District, which includes Roosevelt Island.
