Open seat in NY-38 draws challenger to incumbent Rajkumar
Incumbent Jenifer Rajkumar, first elected in 2020, faces a primary challenge from David Orkin, who has staked out positions on a wide range of progressive issues including taxing the rich, climate affordability, and tenant protections. The race is an open-seat contest only in the sense that no other incumbent is on the ballot, but Rajkumar is running for re-election. Orkin has articulated nine distinct policy positions, while Rajkumar's platform details remain unconfirmed in available research.
