Incumbent Republican Elise Stefanik was expected to resign to take office as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, after being nominated to the position by President-elect Donald Trump on November 11, 2024.[23] Governor Kathy Hochul would have been responsible for calling a special election ten days after the vacancy, to take place between 70 and 80 days afterwards.[24] However, after several months of delays, Stefanik's nomination was withdrawn by President Trump on March 27, 2025, due to concerns over the slim Republican Party majority in the House of Representatives. Stefanik had been expected to be confirmed; her nomination was reported favorably out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise was planning to host a going-away party for Stefanik on March 31.[25]

In lieu of a primary election, nominees for the special election would have been chosen by local leaders from each party in the 21st district.[26] A wide field of Republicans had declared their intent to seek the nomination, including:

The New York State Conservative Party endorsed Stec.[34] Republicans who declined to run in the special election included Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino[35] and state senator Mark Walczyk.[36]

Democrats nominated dairy farmer Blake Gendebien for the expected special election on February 4.[37] Other candidates who sought the Democratic nomination included:

Three other Democrats declined to run in the special election: state assemblymember Billy Jones,[41] former U.S. Representative Bill Owens,[42] and Matt Castelli, former director of counterterrorism for the U.S. National Security Council and nominee for this district in 2022.[39]

Richard Grayson, writer and perennial candidate, filed as a write-in candidate proposing that the 21st District become a province of Canada, satirizing Trump's push for the United States to annex Canada.[43]
