Not that long ago (but still too long) ! Part of the western Queens (then NY-6) portion sent one as recently as 1947-49 and upper central Queens briefly from 1952-53 (then NY-5). The Bronx portion of the district sent Republican Paul Fino until 1969 (then NY-24).
You have a great memory! Guy” Molinari, Mike Long, Bill Buckley for Mayor! all a last gasp for sanity in NYC (save for Rudy).
