Info
New York's 11th Congressional District is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives in New York City.The 11th district includes all of Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn, including the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Bath Beach, Dyker Heights, south western Gravesend, western Sheepshead Bay, and parts of southern Bensonhurst. Politically, it is the most conservative district in New York City, the only district in the city which leans towards the Republican Party in national elections, and until 2018, it was the only district covering part of the city to be represented by a Republican. With its loss, the Republicans were left without House representation in the city for only the second time since the 1930s. The district has significant Italian-American, Jewish, Irish-American, Russian-American, and Arab-American populations.
From 2003-2013, the district was located entirely in Brooklyn, and had a majority African-American population. Most of the old 11th is now the 9th District. Prior to 2013, most of the territory currently in the 11th had been the 13th District.
The district was the subject of The Colbert Report's Better Know a District segment on December 15, 2005 and September 4, 2012.
On May 5, 2015 the 11th Congressional District of New York held a special election for the U.S. House of Representatives. Daniel Donovan (R) from Staten Island defeated his opponents in the special election gathering 58.7% of the vote. Democrat Max Rose defeated Donovan, in the 2018 midterm elections.
