I don't have access to real-time information, so I can't tell you who currently holds the NY-26 seat, especially since congressional representatives can change through elections, resignations, or other circumstances.

For the most accurate and up-to-date answer, I'd recommend:

1. **House.gov** – Visit https://www.house.gov and use their "Find Your Representative" tool by entering your ZIP code.

2. **Your ZIP code lookup** – Since district boundaries can be complex, entering your specific address ensures you get the right representative.

3. **NY State Board of Elections** – Their website can also confirm your district and representative.

**A note on NY-26:** This district is located in western New York, including parts of the Buffalo and Niagara Falls areas. If you'd like, I can share what I know about the district's general boundaries or its recent history—just keep in mind my information may be outdated.

Would you like me to share any general background, or would you prefer to use one of the official resources above for current details?
