New York's 11th Congressional District is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives in New York City.
The 11th district includes all of Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn, including the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights, and Gravesend. Politically, it is the most conservative district in New York City, the only district in the city which leans towards the Republican Party in national elections, and the only district covering part of the city to be represented by a Republican. The district has significant Italian-American, Jewish, Irish-American, Russian-American, populations.
From 2003-2013, the district was located entirely in Brooklyn, and had a majority African-American population. Most of the old 11th is now the 9th District. Prior to 2013, most of the territory currently in the 11th had been the 13th District.
The district was the subject of The Colbert Report's Better Know a District segment on December 15, 2005 and September 4, 2012.
On May 5, 2015 the 11th Congressional District of New York held a special election for the U.S. House of Representatives. The three major party candidates were Daniel Donovan (R), Vincent Gentile (D), and James Lane (G). Daniel Donovan (R) from Staten Island defeated his opponents in the special election gathering 58.7% of the vote.[1]

List of representatives
The 11th has historically been a Brooklyn-based district. In the 1992 redistricting much of the old 11th became the new 10th district and the new 11th absorbed much of the old 12th district. In the 2012 redistricting, the new 11th replaced most of the old 13th district, and covered Staten Island for the first time.

Election results
In New York State 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").
