This district on the eastern end of Long Island shifted to the right in 2024, voting for Trump by 10.1%. In 2020, he would have only won the district by 1.8%, and as Trump’s policies continue to raise costs, there’s an opening for an upset victory by Democrats. Chris Gallant, a volunteer firefighter and member of the National Guard, is challenging Rep. Nick LaLota, and has a stronger profile than LaLota’s last opponent and has a shot in a favorable political environment.
