This district is currently represented by Republican John Katko. As of the 117th United States Congress, it is one of very few Democratic-leaning districts in the country to be represented by a Republican, and one of only nine districts that voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election while being held or won by a Republican. Katko had also won re-election in 2016 while the district was carried by Democrat Hillary Clinton.
From 2003 to 2013, the district included all or parts of Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Cortland, Herkimer, Oneida, Ontario, Otsego, Seneca, Tioga, and Tompkins counties.
