Add article description

The 1998 United States House of Representatives elections in New York were held on November 3, 1998, to elect the 31 United States representatives from the State of New York, one from each of the state's 31 congressional districts. The elections were held concurrently with other elections in the state for U.S. Senate, Governor/Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller, and various other local offices. Neither of the two major parties in the U.S. congressional delegation from New York gained any seats, meaning that both parties' seat count in the delegation remained steady.
