Your current representative for New York's 5th Congressional District is Gregory W. Meeks (D), who has represented the district since 2013.He remains one of New York's current representatives in the U.S. House.

A couple of notes worth flagging:

Primary just happened: Meeks won re-nomination in the June 23, 2026 Democratic primary, defeating challenger Salvatore Padellaro, so he's the Democratic nominee heading into the November general election. 
Ballotpedia
Redistricting uncertainty: A state judge ruled in January 2026 that New York's 11th Congressional District (a different district) was unconstitutional, ordering the map to be redrawn, though the Supreme Court issued a stay in March 2026 blocking that ruling while litigation continues. This mainly affects district 11, but it's a reminder that NY's map is somewhat in flux this cycle. NY-05 itself doesn't appear to be part of that dispute.

General election: Set for November 3, 2026, with Meeks heavily favored given the district's strong Democratic lean (D+24 based on recent presidential results).
