The 3rd district of New York is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives currently represented by Tom Suozzi.
The district includes most of the North Shore of Long Island. It expands from northwestern Suffolk County, across northern Nassau County, and into far northeastern Queens. Long Island communities in the district include Huntington, Northport, Commack, Dix Hills, Plainview, Hicksville, Syosset, Glen Cove, Roslyn, Port Washington, and Great Neck. Queens neighborhoods in the district include Little Neck, Whitestone, Glen Oaks, and Floral Park.
From 2003-2013, the district included southwestern Suffolk County and the eastern half of Nassau County, with some parts as far west as Island Park and Long Beach. Much of this area is now the 2nd district; in effect, former Democratic congressman Steve Israel traded district numbers with Republican Peter T. King.
