A 2011 special election in New York’s 26th congressional district was held on May 24 2011 to fill a seat in the U.S. Congress for New York’s 26th congressional district. The vacancy was due to the February 2011 resignation of married Republican Chris Lee who resigned amid a scandal involving flirtatious emails and a shirtless picture he had sent to a woman he met on Craigslist.
