The race for control of the U.S. House is heating up in New York, with two swing districts on Long Island witnessing tight contests between incumbent Republicans and Democratic challengers. A new poll shows Republican Rep. Nick LaLota with a narrow lead in the 1st Congressional District, while Rep. Anthony D’Esposito is trailing in the 4th Congressional District. These races, along with others in the region, could have a significant impact on the national political landscape.
