NEW YORK

Half a dozen US House races in New York have become highly competitive, making it a key state in the race to control the chamber. In the state legislature, Republicans hope to flip a handful of seats to strip Democrats of their supermajority. New York is also one of 10 states where voters will decide on an abortion-related ballot. At the top of the ballot, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris are competing for the state’s 28 electoral votes.

Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is also on the ballot, seeking a third full term.

In the state legislature, Democrats have a lopsided advantage, but a net loss of a few seats in either chamber could cost them their majority. All state Senate and Assembly seats are up for election in November.

Voters will also decide on a ballot measure called the “Equal Rights Amendment,” which is widely supported by Democrats and abortion rights supporters. Although the proposal does not specifically mention abortion, it would prevent discrimination based on “pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and reproductive health care and autonomy.” New York is one of 10 states where voters will decide abortion-related ballots on November 5.

NEW JERSEY

Kim is a three-term congressman from the 3rd District, and Bashaw is a hotel developer and first-time candidate from southern New Jersey. Four independent candidates are also on the ballot.

Among the US House races of interest is the 7th District seat that includes Trump’s Bedminster golf club. Republican Tom Kean Jr. is seeking a second term against Democrat Sue Altman, a former leader of the state’s progressive Working Families Alliance. Kean is the son, grandson and great-grandson of former New Jersey elected officials. In the 8th District, Democrat Rob Menendez, son of the recently resigned senator, is seeking a second term against Republican Anthony Valdes.

CONNECTICUT

Two-term Democratic U.S. Sen. Christopher Murphy faces a challenge from Republican Matthew Corey in a rematch of their 2018 contest. Two other candidates are also in the race.

Five members of the Democratic United States House are seeking re-election. The most contested race is the 5th Congressional District in western Connecticut, where incumbent Rep. Jahana Hayes faces a rematch with Republican George Logan, who narrowly lost to Hayes in 2022.

Democrats are also seeking to capture supermajorities in the state House and Senate to increase leverage for Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont.

Voters will also decide on a proposed “no excuse” absentee ballot amendment that would authorize the state Legislature to allow any voter to request a mail-in ballot. Under current law, voters must have an excuse to request an absentee ballot.
