U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler, a first-term Republican, is engaged in a competitive re-election race against former Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones for his congressional seat in New York’s Hudson Valley.

The NY-17 race is one of many in the New York City area that could tip the balance of power in the House to the right or left.

Eleven districts within a 90-mile radius of Manhattan are expected to be among the most hotly contested legislative races in the country on Election Day.
