New York's 18th congressional district
Democratic, Working Families and Independence incumbent Nita Lowey was challenged unsuccessfully by Republican and Conservative Party nominee (and former Republican nominee) Jim Russell and write-in candidate Cortes DeRussy.
Lowey was first elected in 1988 (defeating Joseph J. DioGuardi) and had had few challenges since. Venture capitalist Paul Wasserman, who would have run against her as a Republican, backed out in July 2010. Mark Rosen, seen by many as the strongest competitor, was recalled to military service just as his campaign was gaining traction. Theologian James C. Russell held the Republican and Conservative ballot lines, but the Republican Party disowned him after an essay in which he supported racial segregation surfaced; they had no way of removing him from the ballot.https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-abandons-congressional-nominee-over-anti-integration-essay/ Fox News GOP Abandons Congressional Nominee Over Anti-Integration Essay September 23, 2010 The Republicans then endorsed write-in candidate Cortes DeRussy.http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2010/10/19/gop-has-new-challenger-for-lowey/ GOP has new challenger for Lowey - Politics on the Hudson lohudblogs.com 2010-10-20 2010-10-23 https://web.archive.org/web/20101023082739/http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2010/10/19/gop-has-new-challenger-for-lowey/ dead Lowey won the general election on November 2, 2010.

New York's 29th congressional district
New York's 29th congressional district election, 2010
District 29 was an open seat. The candidates on the ballot were Democratic and Working Families nominee Matthew Zeller and Republican, Conservative and Independence Party nominee Tom Reed. "Tea Party" candidate Janice Volk ran as a write-in candidate. Reed defeated Zeller in both the special election to fill the open seat and the general election for the term beginning on January 3, 2011. On March 3, 2010, incumbent Democrat Eric Massa announced that he would retire following reports that he had suffered a recurrence of cancer and allegations of sexual harassment. Massa later announced his resignation effective March 8.Benjamin, Elizabeth (2010-03-03).

Reed, the outgoing mayor of Corning, announced his candidacy in 2009 and is the Republican nominee. Monroe County executive Maggie Brooks, state senator Catharine Young and Kuhl himself publicly acknowledged they were considering running, but all three backed Reed.Dean, Nicholas.

The Democrats selected Zeller as their candidate. Zeller, who was largely unknown until his selection, did not live in the state of New York, but claimed to be a "native" of several towns ranging from Rochester to the Southern Tier.http://www.13wham.com/news/local/story/NY-29-Dems-Pick-Zeller-as-Candidate/Hi3PqAXrvk-6kG-bRMOBQg.cspx NY-29: Dems Pick Zeller as Candidate - Rochester, News, Weather, Sports, and Events WHAM 2001-09-11 2010-08-21 https://web.archive.org/web/20100629171004/http://www.13wham.com/news/local/story/NY-29-Dems-Pick-Zeller-as-Candidate/Hi3PqAXrvk-6kG-bRMOBQg.cspx 2010-06-29 dead
Shortly after Massa's departure, Rothenberg and CQ shifted the race to a toss-up and Cook moved it into the "Lean Republican" category. National Review, on the other hand, considered the race to be one of the easiest of the competitive races for a Republican takeover, on the order of "defeating the St. Louis Rams" (the worst team in the NFL in 2009).Geraghty, Jim (2010-05-06). ; retrieved 2010-05-08
The 2010 election was the last election for the (numerically) 29th district. In December 2010, the United States Census Bureau announced that New York would lose two congressional seats based on the results of the 2010 United States census.Yen, Hope and Charles Babington (2010-12-21). Census shows slowing US growth, brings GOP gains. Associated Press. Retrieved 2010-12-21. It could possibly be dissolved, or renumbered with another county from the east (Tioga County) attached to it while another district (almost certain to be upstate, with candidates being the current 20th, 23rd, 24th or one of the Buffalo districts) is broken up.http://www.oleantimesherald.com/articles/2008/02/16/news/doc47b653018a971584473157.txt Rep.
