Four new House members for the city, including a former Council member. The Council has 48 requests pending before Congress

New York City will send four new members to the House in January, according to the Board of Elections' unofficial results, last updated at about 12:42 a.m. Wednesday. All four won by wide margins after June primaries effectively decided their races.

Why it matters to residents: Congress sets federal money for housing, transit, food aid and Medicaid, and the city budget depends on it. Several of the city's newest House members come from city or state government.

The new members

• 10th District (Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn): Brad Lander 83.2%, Republican Jennifer Moore 15.9%. Lander beat Rep. Dan Goldman in the June primary, amNY reported. He is a former city comptroller, and he represented Park Slope and nearby neighborhoods on the City Council from 2010 to 2021, according to his Wikipedia entry. His old Council seat, District 39, is now held by Shahana K. Hanif. "It's a profound honor to represent you in the U.S. Congress," Lander posted, TAG24 reported.
• 12th District (Manhattan): Micah Lasher 77.2%, Republican Caroline Shinkle 20.0%. Lasher, a former Assembly member, replaces Rep. Jerry Nadler, who is retiring, amNY reported.
• 13th District (Upper Manhattan and the Bronx): Darializa Avila Chevalier 87.5%, Republican Jomo Williams 11.4%. She unseated Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the primary, amNY reported.
• 7th District (Brooklyn and Queens): Claire Valdez 83.3%, Republican Melvin Rivera 15.0%. She won her first term, TAG24 reported.

The Associated Press reported Lander's win at 9:08 p.m. Tuesday, eight minutes after polls closed, according to its story on WTOP.
