This is an open seat race for New York's 14th congressional district, as incumbent Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not on the ballot. Candidates include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Felipe Garcia, and Marty Dolan, though Ocasio-Cortez's presence as a candidate suggests she may be running for re-election despite the open seat designation. The race focuses on issues such as education, public safety, cost of living, and mental health, with Garcia holding positions on most topics.
