In September 2013, the Office of Congressional Ethics recommended further review of an August 2012 incident in which Bishop was accused of soliciting a campaign contribution from hedge fund magnate Eric Semler in exchange for acting in an official capacity to obtain a fireworks permit for Semler's son's bar mitzvah on Long Island.{{Cite news |url=http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=31A7F69E-DC2A-4368-8B7F-6D04EBE3B042 |title=Tim Bishop's bar mitzvah episode could spell trouble |first=John |last=Bresnahan |date=August 15, 2012 |publisher=Politico |access-date=March 21, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140304192142/http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=31A7F69E-DC2A-4368-8B7F-6D04EBE3B042 |archive-date=March 4, 2014 |df=mdy-all }}{{cite news|last=Rattray|first=David|title=Committee Will Extend Bishop Probe|url=http://easthamptonstar.com/News/2013919/Committee-Will-Extend-Bishop-Probe|access-date=April 4, 2014|newspaper=Easthampton Star|date=September 19, 2013|archive-date=April 7, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407095110/http://easthamptonstar.com/News/2013919/Committee-Will-Extend-Bishop-Probe|url-status=dead}} Bishop denied the allegations as "outrageous, unfounded attacks on my character and my family".{{Cite news |url=http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/explosive_charges_vs_li_pol_IgDJ21pUgrvSQeqisWKrCI |title=Explosive charges vs. LI pol |first=Geoff |last=Earle |date=August 17, 2012 |publisher=New York Post |access-date=August 30, 2012}} After the incident was picked up by the media, Semler called the allegations a "nonstory".

Despite running against a recently indicted opponent, Recchia and his campaign made a series of errors, some of which received national attention. He was criticized for being unable to explain his position on trade and labor issues, as well as seemingly not understanding what the Trans-Pacific Partnership was.{{cite web |author1=Will Bredderman |title=Grimm Rival Recchia Unable to Answer Questions About Labor and Trade |url=https://observer.com/2014/09/grimm-rival-recchia-unable-to-answer-questions-about-labor-and-trade/ |website=observer.com |publisher=Observer Media |access-date=26 June 2023 |date=18 September 2014}} The following day he stated that he had “great knowledge” of foreign affairs, by citing his experience in running a school exchange program more than a decade earlier and trips he had taken to Italy.{{cite web |author1=Ross Barkan |title=Domenic Recchia Claims ‘Great Knowledge’ of Foreign Affairs |url=https://observer.com/2014/09/domenic-recchia-claims-great-knowledge-of-foreign-affairs/ |website=observer.com |publisher=Observer Media |access-date=26 June 2023 |date=19 September 2014}}
These events prompted Jon Stewart to dedicate a segment of The Daily Show to the 11th district's campaign, entitled “Wait, How the F@#k Does That Happen?”, in which he mocked Recchia for his repeated verbal flubs.{{cite web |author1=Ross Barkan |title=‘I Met a Japanese Foreign Exchange Student’: Daily Show Savages Domenic Recchia |url=https://observer.com/2014/10/i-met-a-japanese-foreign-exchange-student-daily-show-savages-domenic-recchia/ |website=observer.com |publisher=Observer Media |access-date=26 June 2023 |date=15 October 2014}}{{cite web |author1=Ahiza Garcia |title=Stewart: ‘How The F**k’ Is Michael Grimm Still Winning His Race?

In its editorial endorsing Grimm, the New York Daily News described Recchia as "a candidate so dumb, ill-informed, evasive and inarticulate that voting for a thuggish Republican who could wind up in a prison jumpsuit starts to make rational sense"."Very Grimm choice", New York Daily News, November 1, 2014, [http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/editorial-grimm-choice-article-1.1995032 Retrieved 2014-11-09] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161224195154/http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/editorial-grimm-choice-article-1.1995032 |date=December 24, 2016 }}

Eldridge faced criticism for not living in the district, having only purchased a $2 million home with his husband Chris Hughes in 2013. They had previously bought a home $5 million in Garrison, New York, in preparation for a run for the 18th district, changing plans after Sean Patrick Maloney's victory in 2012.{{cite news|url=https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2013/11/14/ambitious_sean_eldridge_polishes_his_message.html|title=Ambitious Sean Eldridge Polishes His Message|work=Real Clear Politics|last=Conroy|first=Scott|date=November 12, 2013|accessdate=January 25, 2018}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.rollcall.com/2014/04/30/who-you-calling-a-carpetbagger/|title=Who You Calling a Carpetbagger?|date=April 30, 2014|website=Roll Call}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonblade.com/2014/04/30/eldridge/|title=Eldridge self-funds congressional campaign with nearly $1 million|first=Chris|last=Johnson|date=April 30, 2014|work=Washington Blade}} This prompted one local resident to describe his campaign to the New York Times as "It’s a little bit presumptuous, in a community like this you like to know who your neighbors are.

The 25th district located entirely within Monroe County, centered on the city of Rochester. Incumbent Democrat Louise Slaughter, who had represented the district since 2013, and previously represented the 28th district from 1993 to 2013 and the 30th district from 1987 to 1993, ran for re-election. She was re-elected in 2012 with 57% of the vote, and the district had a PVI of D+7.

Due to Slaughter's age and recent health problems, there was speculation that she might retire, with Rochester Mayor Lovely A.
