The state's congressional districts had been redrawn in a manner that puts much of the territory of the old 10th Congressional district into the new 8th Congressional district. The election had a few competitors for what was then an open seat, with the 10th incumbent congressman Edolphus Towns retiring. State assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries faced off against New York City Councilman Charles Barron. Jeffries won the primary and ultimately the general election. == Current composition ==

The 8th district is located entirely in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Brooklyn neighborhoods in the district include: • Bedford-Stuyvesant • Bergen Beach • Brighton Beach • Brownsville • Canarsie • Coney Island • City Line • East New York • Gerritsen Beach • Gravesend • Homecrest • Manhattan Beach • Marine Park • Mill Basin • New Lots • Ocean Hill • Sea Gate • Sheepshead Bay • Spring Creek • Starrett City == List of members representing the district ==

1793–1833: one seat 1833–1843: two seats From 1833 to 1843, two seats were apportioned to the district, elected at-large on a general ticket. 1843–present: one seat The 8th district was a Queens-based seat until the 1992 redistricting. At that time much of the old 8th district became the 5th district. The new 8th district was created by cobbling together portions of the Manhattan-based 17th district and the 13th district in Brooklyn. ==Recent election results==

In New York electoral politics there are numerous 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"). ==See also==
