See also: New York's 1st congressional district. The 1st district is based on the eastern end of Long Island, including the Hamptons, Smithtown, Brookhaven, Riverhead, Port Jefferson, and portions of Lake Ronkonkoma, all in Suffolk County. The district has a PVI of R+4 but voted for Al Gore by points in 2000. The incumbent was Democrat Michael Forbes, who was reelected as a Republican with 64.13% of the vote in 1998.[7] Forbes switched parties in June 1999, after disagreements with his party leaders.[8]
Forbes received a primary challenge from Regina Seltzer, a pro bono environmental lawyer and former Brookhaven town council member. On primary day, Seltzer defeated the incumbent Forbes by just 35 votes.
