From 2013 to 2023, the district included all of Cayuga, Onondaga, and Wayne counties, and the western part of Oswego County. Its largest city was Syracuse, and it as a swing district.

This district was represented by Republican John Katko from 2015 to 2023. In the 117th United States Congress, it was one of very few Democratic-leaning districts in the country to be represented by a Republican, and one of only nine districts that voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election while being held or won by a Republican. Katko had also won re-election in 2016 while the district was carried by Democrat Hillary Clinton.
