2025 NY-21 Special Election

The NY-21 congressional seat that was expected to be vacant back in early January is about to open up, triggering a special election to be scheduled soon.

One of the people described as being "on the short list" for Republicans in an upcoming special election to fill a seat expected to be vacated by Rep. Elise Stefanik, helped police in Upstate New York capture a man who was wanted by police. Stefanik is in the confirmation process to become President Donald's Trump's Ambassador to the United Nations.

Governor Kathy Hochul and the National Democratic Party have a scheme that would delay the special election to replace Congresswoman Elise Stefanek, according to NYS Senator Joe Griffo. The plan would delay the special election and make sure that the Republican led House is at least one member shy going into upcoming votes, at least into springtime, said Griffo.
