New York's 14th Congressional District is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives located in New York City, represented by Democrat Joseph Crowley.
Contents
The district includes the eastern Bronx and part of north-central Queens. The Queens portion includes the neighborhoods of Astoria, College Point, East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights and Woodside. The Bronx portion of the district includes the neighborhoods of Co-op City, Morris Park, Parkchester, Pelham Bay, and Throgs Neck as well as City Island. Before Redistricting for the 2012 election, much of this area was included in New York's 7th congressional district.
From 2003-2013, it included most of the East Side of Manhattan, all of Roosevelt Island and the neighborhoods of Astoria, Long Island City, and Sunnyside in Queens. Museum Mile, all of Central Park, and the United Nations Headquarters were located within this district.
Components
During the 1970s, this area was the 18th district; in the 1980s it was the 15th district.
The District was a Brooklyn-based seat until 1982 when it became the Staten Island district. In 1992 it became the East Side of Manhattan district, which for most of its existence had been the 17th district. In 2012, the district shifted to the former territory of the 7th district in Queens and The Bronx.
In fiction
In the TV series Heroes, the character Nathan Petrelli won the 14th district's congressional seat in 2006 election in a landslide, thanks to electoral fraud. He did not take the seat, however.
Congressional races
Note that in New York State electoral politics there are numerous minor parties at various points on the political spectrum. Certain parties will invariably endorse either the Republican or Democratic candidate for every office, hence the state electoral results contain both the party votes, and the final candidate votes (Listed as "Recap").
