Elkind’s candidacy

Liam Elkind is listed as a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House in New York’s 12th Congressional District. The contested general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.

Elkind has no biography or documented policy positions on file. Figures for the amount his campaign has raised or spent, as well as its cash on hand, are also not on file.

Where the candidates stand

None of the 12 candidates has a documented policy position on file. That applies equally to Conway, Diep, Dunn, Elkind, Floyd, Jordan, Aldrich, Kasky, Bergdale, Lasher, Bores and Bottcher.

Party labels identify each candidate as a Democrat or Republican, but they do not establish a candidate’s position on a particular issue. Without a documented stance, no policy view can be attributed to Elkind or any of the other candidates in the race.

The same applies to personal and professional background. No candidate in the contest has a biography on file, so the records do not establish details such as employment, education, prior government service or community work for any of them.

Campaign-finance picture

Fundraising, spending and cash-on-hand figures are not on file for any candidate in the race. Those three measures cover different parts of campaign finance: money brought in, money paid out and money remaining. No dollar amount can be attributed to any of the 12 campaigns at this stage.

The next fixed point in the race is the election date. Voters in New York’s 12th Congressional District are scheduled to vote in the general election on Nov. 3, 2026.
