editCampaign
editIn September 2013, the Office of Congressional Ethics recommended further review of an August 2012 incident in which Bishop was accused of soliciting a campaign contribution from hedge fund magnate Eric Semler in exchange for acting in an official capacity to obtain a fireworks permit for Semler's son's bar mitzvah on Long Island.[14][15] Bishop denied the allegations as "outrageous, unfounded attacks on my character and my family".[16] After the incident was picked up by the media, Semler called the allegations a "nonstory".
Despite the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigating the incident,[17] in September the Justice Department closed its investigation without filing charges.[18]
However, the NRCC and other right wing groups exploited the incident to paint Bishop as a corrupt Washington insider.[19]

The 11th district is located entirely in New York City and includes all of Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn. Incumbent Republican Michael Grimm, who had represented the district since 2011, ran for re-election. The district had a PVI of R+2.
Republican primary
editOn April 25, two weeks after the filing deadline, Grimm was indicted on charges including mail fraud and wire fraud due to a campaign finance investigation from his successful run for the 13th district in 2010.[58] The only way he could have been removed from the ballot was by moving out of the state, running for a judgeship or being convicted before the general election.[59] If Grimm had been removed from the ballot, potential Republican candidates included former U.S. Representative Vito Fossella, State Senator Andrew Lanza, State Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, State Assemblyman Joseph Borelli, former state assemblyman Matthew Mirones, Richmond County District Attorney and nominee for New York Attorney General in 2010 Daniel M. Donovan, Jr., Staten Island Borough President James Oddo, New York City Council Minority Leader Vincent M. Ignizio and New York City Councilman Steven Matteo.

General election
editCampaign
editDespite running against a recently indicted opponent, Recchia and his campaign made a series of errors, some of which received national attention. He was criticized for being unable to explain his position on trade and labor issues, as well as seemingly not understanding what the Trans-Pacific Partnership was.[67] The following day he stated that he had “great knowledge” of foreign affairs, by citing his experience in running a school exchange program more than a decade earlier and trips he had taken to Italy.[68]
These events prompted Jon Stewart to dedicate a segment of The Daily Show to the 11th district's campaign, entitled “Wait, How the F@#k Does That Happen?”, in which he mocked Recchia for his repeated verbal flubs.[69][70]
In its editorial endorsing Grimm, the New York Daily News described Recchia as "a candidate so dumb, ill-informed, evasive and inarticulate that voting for a thuggish Republican who could wind up in a prison jumpsuit starts to make rational sense".[71]

editOn election night, Grimm easily won a third term, defeating Recchia by nearly 13%, declaring in his victory speech that "It's not how hard you can hit, it's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done".[79] Due to his losing to an indicted congressman in a swing district by double figures, The Hill named Recchia as one of their "Top 10 worst candidates of 2014".[80]

editEldridge faced criticism for not living in the district, having only purchased a $2 million home with his husband Chris Hughes in 2013. They had previously bought a home $5 million in Garrison, New York, in preparation for a run for the 18th district, changing plans after Sean Patrick Maloney's victory in 2012.[108][109][110] This prompted one local resident to describe his campaign to the New York Times as "It’s a little bit presumptuous, in a community like this you like to know who your neighbors are. Having ties to your neighbors is important. How can he expect to represent people he doesn’t know?"[111] The NRCC responded, "The DCCC’s prized candidate Sean Eldridge may have Nancy Pelosi on speed dial and close to a billion dollars at his disposal, but he knows absolutely nothing about the struggles and needs of the hard working families in the 19th District of New York."[112]
By October 2014, with Eldridge having spent $2.8 million of his money on the campaign and being down by more than 20 points in the polls, the New York Times described him as "a first-time Democratic candidate with a thin résumé and a thick wallet"; Politico called his campaign a "catastrophe";[113] and Vanity Fair opined that his campaign was "overfunded and stacked with expensive consultants".[114]

The 21st district, the state's largest and most rural, includes most of the North Country and borders Vermont to the east. Incumbent Democrat Bill Owens, who had represented the district since 2013, and previously represented the 23rd district from 2009 to 2013, announced he would not seek re-election on January 14, 2014.[123] He had been re-elected in 2012 with 50% of the vote, and the district had an even PVI.
Democratic primary
editFor the Democrats, multiple mooted candidates declined to run. The Democratic county committee chairs in the district thus nominated Aaron Woolf, a relatively unknown grocery store owner and filmmaker with a home in Elizabethtown, as their nominee at a meeting on February 12, 2014.[124][125] In response, Macomb town councilman Stephen Burke declared his candidacy, but he was removed from the ballot after he filed insufficient ballot petition signatures. Green candidate Donald Hassig was also removed for the same reason.[126][127]

Joseph Gilbert, the former emergency services director for St. Lawrence County and a local Tea Party activist, withdrew from the Republican primary on April 11, 2014, due to personal and family problems.
