Several Republican candidates in NYC suburbs won U.S. House races in this year's midterm elections. The suburbs became an unlikely battleground for control of the House.
for the U.S. House of Representatives notched several wins in New York City’s suburbs, seizing a seat in an area once considered safely Democratic, defending others and appearing on the verge of picking up additional wins in districts the party hasn't won in years.
In the other, Democrat Laura Gillen, an attorney and one-term supervisor of the town of Hempstead, was in a tight race with Republican Anthony D’Esposito, a member of Hempstead’s town council and a former New York Police Department detective. National Republican groups, sensing an opportunity, spent millions on advertisements supporting Lawler, a former executive director of the state Republican party who worked in local government before his election to the Assembly in 2020.
That let Republicans run in more favorable districts, where they relentlessly attacked Democrats over inflation and fear of crime.
