New York Reps Run Unopposed in 2024 Election

Voters in several states are heading to the polls for key elections on Tuesday. In New York, three state representatives—Democrat Billy Jones and Republicans Matt Simpson and Dan Stec—are running unopposed, allowing them to focus on community engagement despite facing no challengers. Vermont is witnessing a competitive race for Lieutenant Governor, with incumbent David Zuckerman facing Republican John Rodgers, while New Jersey's election for a new U.S. Senator features Democrat Andy Kim against Republican Curtis Bashaw, who struggles with name recognition and party affiliation challenges. Rhode Island's election will determine 43 contested state legislative races, although most seats have already been decided due to a lack of opposition. Meanwhile, in British Columbia, local politicians elected to the legislature will trigger byelections in their communities. Polling places across these regions will be open from early morning until evening.
