New York's 21st congressional district is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives that is represented by Republican Elise Stefanik. On November 11, 2024, President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Stefanik to serve as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.^[4] If confirmed by the Senate, this would create a vacancy in her district, prompting a special election to fill the seat.

The district is rural and it includes the cities of Ogdensburg, Glens Falls, and Plattsburgh. The district includes most of the Adirondack Mountains and the Thousand Islands region. It borders Vermont to the east and Canada to the north. It also includes Fort Drum of the U.S. Army.
