New York's 24th congressional district is located in Upstate New York in the Finger Lakes region, stretching alongside Lake Ontario from near Buffalo in the west to Watertown in the east. The district does not include Rochester, which is in the 25th district. Since 2023, it has been represented by Claudia Tenney. In the 2022 election it voted more strongly Republican than any other district in the state. Prior to the redistricting which took effect in 2023, the district included the city of Syracuse.

The current district includes all or parts of Cayuga, Wayne, Oswego, Ontario, Jefferson, Livingston, Niagara, Genesee, Wyoming, Seneca, Yates, Schuyler, and Orleans counties. With a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of R+11, it is the most Republican district in New York.

Election results

In 2008, Michael Arcuri won the election with 130,799 votes (9,454 from Working Families Party line) to Richard L. Hanna's 120,880 out of 282,114 total votes. Note that in New York State electoral politics there are several 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").
