Contested primaries were held June 26, 2018. On election day, Democrats gained three New York House seats, and the Democratic Party retook control of the House of Representatives. Democrats won a total of 21 New York House seats, while Republicans won six.

Elections were held in all 27 of New York's congressional districts in 2018. Prior to the 2018 elections, one New York House seat was vacant^[1] due to the death of Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-25th District) on March 16, 2018.^[2] In the June 26, 2018 Democratic primary in District 14, insurgent Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez upset longtime incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley.^[3] On November 6, 2018, the Democratic Party held the open seat in District 25 and defeated three Republican incumbents; with the exception of Crowley, all Democratic incumbent members of Congress in New York were re-elected.^[4][5] The defeated Republican incumbents were Rep. Dan Donovan (R-11th District) (defeated by Democrat Max Rose), Rep. John Faso (R-19th District) (defeated by Democrat Antonio Delgado), and Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-22nd District) (defeated by Democrat Anthony Brindisi).^[4] Incumbent Rep. Chris Collins (R-27th District) was narrowly re-elected^[6] despite having been arrested on insider trading charges in August 2018.^[7]

Democrats won a total of 21 New York House seats, while Republicans won six.^[4] Nationally, the Democratic Party won control of the House of Representatives on election day.^[8]

New York is near unique among the states in that it allows electoral fusion (cross-endorsement).^[9] As a result, New York ballots tend to list many political parties. Most news outlets report election results using only the primary affiliation of party registration of candidates rather than by the party nominees who are elected, and most pollsters group candidates the same way.^[10]
