New York's 17th congressional district is a
Mondaire Jones was first elected in 2020 to succeed the retiring Representative Nita Lowey.[3] In the aftermath of the 2020 redistricting cycle, 18th district incumbent Sean Patrick Maloney announced his intention to run in the new 17th district instead of his existing seat; Jones subsequently opted to run in the 10th district to avoid a primary fight. However, Maloney lost to Republican Mike Lawler in the general election; Lawler subsequently became the first of his party to win this seat since 1981.[4] Lawler's victory gained significant attention due to Maloney's position as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee; Maloney became the first chairman in over 40 years to lose reelection.[5]
The district has a significant Jewish population, including conservative Hasidic communities in Rockland County.[6][7]

List of members representing the district
The District was historically the East Side Manhattan district (known as the "silk stocking district" for the wealth of its constituents). In the 1970s it was a Staten Island seat. It became the west side Manhattan seat in the 1980s. It became a Bronx-based seat in the 1992 remap and was shifted north into Rockland county in 2002 to absorb terrain from the deconstruction of the old 20th district.
Previously the 19th district covered much of the Bronx portion of the seat in the 1980s; while in the 1970s the 23rd district covered most of the Bronx area.
