Pat Ryan (D) defeated Marc Molinaro (R) in the special election for New York's 19th Congressional District on August 23, 2022. Former incumbent Antonio Delgado (D) resigned from Congress in May 2022 after New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) selected him as lieutenant governor. Ryan was elected to serve the rest of Delgado's term, which ended on January 3, 2023.

The Times Union's Timmy Facciola wrote in May, "The current 19th is a swing district, and the special election has outsized national implications, as it will determine the size of the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives for the remainder of the 117th Congress."[1] Facciola said, "The victor will also gain incumbent status before the November midterm elections, for which both Molinaro and Ryan have declared their candidacies in New York’s newly drawn districts."[1]

At the time of the special election, Ryan had served as Ulster County executive since 2019.[2] A tech entrepreneur and former Army intelligence officer, Ryan highlighted his military service and business experience.[3] Ryan also focused on abortion, saying women should make decisions about their own bodies. "I fought to defend the freedoms of this country and access to abortion is a fundamental freedom," Ryan said.[4] Ryan ran in the 2018 Democratic primary for the 19th District, finishing in second place with 18% of the vote to Delgado's 22%.

Molinaro was elected Dutchess County executive in 2011. According to the Times Union's Roger Hannigan Gilson, Molinaro "attacked Ryan as being soft on crime" and "touted his broad experience in elected office and pointed to his history of keeping taxes low in [Dutchess County]."[5] Molinaro also highlighted his support for measures encouraging investment in digital assets, saying, "Blockchain technology [...] has the potential to provide a system of online banking to those who have never before had access."[6] In 2018, he was the Republican nominee for governor of New York, losing to then-incumbent Andrew Cuomo (D) 60% to 36%.[7]

Both candidates focused on opioid addiction and mental health issues. Ryan said he directed investments from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to local mental health programs. "We saw suicides in Ulster County during the pandemic double. We saw fatal opioid overdoses up 93 percent," Ryan said. "So a lot of what we're doing with the Rescue Plan funds at the local level is reinvesting in mental health," he added.[1]

Molinaro said he supported expanding access to mental healthcare and addressing "the country's mental and behavioral health crisis through local community needs."[8] On opioid addiction, Molinaro said he supported opening crisis stabilization centers, creating a local opioid response grant program, and addressing the trafficking of illegal drugs such as fentanyl. "We can end this epidemic, but we must do so by treating it as [a] public health crisis and the people suffering from it with dignity and care," Molinaro said.[9]

The special election was one of two elections for New York's 19th District in 2022. The other was the regularly scheduled election on November 8.

The boundaries of the 19th District changed due to redistricting. The special election was held under the old district lines, while the November election was held in the newly redrawn district. The old district had a partisan lean of R+4, according to FiveThirtyEight, while the redrawn district had a partisan lean of R+1.[10] To view a comparison of the old and new district maps, click here.

In addition to running in the special election for the 19th District, Molinaro ran in the general election for the redrawn 19th District. Ryan ran in the general election for the redrawn 18th district.[11]

As of May 3, 2025, 17 special elections have been called during the 117th Congress. From the 113th Congress to the 116th Congress, 50 special elections were held. For more data on historical congressional special elections, click here.

Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.


Molinaro said there was a mental health crisis in the country that needed to be addressed. "If we can commit trillions of dollars to military expenses, we can commit billions of dollars necessary to build up a public mental health infrastructure that’s community based," Molinaro said. 


Molinaro said the U.S. was in the midst of an opioid epidemic and said he would address it by targeting the trafficking of fentanyl, expanding access to Medication-Assisted Treatment, and improving warm-handoff policies. "The opioid epidemic continues to take a horrific toll on families across the country," Molinaro said. 


On digital assets, Molinaro said, "Too often government is afraid to embrace the future. We are on the precipice of a massive economic shift and if we want to truly benefit and maximize our potential advancements around blockchain technology, we must encourage American innovators to step up and have the federal government step aside."

  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[13]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in New York in 2022. Information below was calculated on August 18, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

One hundred six candidates filed to run for New York's 26 U.S. House districts, including 67 Democrats and 39 Republicans. That's 4.08 candidates per district, more than the four candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.15 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in New York losing one U.S. House district. The 106 candidates who ran this year were two fewer than the 108 who ran in 2020 and 21 more than the 85 who ran in 2018. Seventy-seven candidates ran in 2016, 55 in 2014, and 81 in 2012.

Four incumbents ran in districts other than the ones they represented at the time. Rep. Claudia Tenney (R), who represented the 22nd district, ran in the 24th. Rep. Sean Maloney (D), who represented the 18th district, ran in the 17th, and Rep. Mondaire Jones (D), the incumbent in the 17th, ran in the 10th.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D), who represented the 10th district, ran in the 12th this year. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D), the incumbent in the 12th district, ran for re-election, making the 12th the only New York district in 2022 where two incumbents ran against each other.

Five incumbents—two Democrats and three Republicans—did not file to run for re-election. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R), who represented the 1st district, and Rep. Tom Suozzi (D), who represented the 3rd district, filed to run for governor. Rep. John Katko (R), who represented the 24th district, and Rep. Kathleen Rice (D), who represented the 4th district, retired. Rep. Christopher Jacobs (R), who represented the 27th district, also retired. The 27th district was eliminated after 2022 due to redistricting.

There were seven open seats this year, a decade-high. That number was up from four in 2020, and from one in 2018. There were four open seats in 2016 and two in 2014 and 2012.

The open seats included Zeldin’s 1st district, Suozzi’s 3rd, Rice’s 4th, Maloney’s 18th, and Tenney’s 22nd. Additionally, the 19th and the 23rd district were vacant before the primaries took place. Rep. Antonio Delgado (D), who represented the 19th, was appointed Lt. Governor of New York, and Rep. Tom Reed (R), who represented the 23rd, resigned after a sexual misconduct allegation. Special elections were held on August 23 to fill both seats.

Fourteen candidates ran to replace Nadler in the 10th district, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year. One of the candidates, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), unofficially withdrew from the race, but his name appeared on the ballot.

There were 16 contested Democratic primaries this year, the same number as in 2020, and three more than in 2018, when there were 13. There were 10 contested Democratic primaries in 2016, five in 2014, and 10 in 2012.

There were eight contested Republican primaries. That was one more than in 2020, when there were seven contested Republican primaries, and seven more than in 2018, when there was only one. There were three contested Republican primaries in 2016, five in 2014, and five in 2012.

Seven incumbents did not face any primary challengers this year. One seat—the 5th— was guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed. No seats were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed.
