Marc Molinaro (R) defeated Josh Riley (D) in the November 8, 2022, general election for New York's 19th Congressional District. Incumbent Pat Ryan (D) ran for re-election in New York’s 18th Congressional District due to redistricting.

Riley worked as a private attorney and congressional staffer.^[1] Riley highlighted his ties to the district and said he would work to encourage job growth in Upstate New York. Riley said, "We should be saying no to bad trade deals. We can invest in high-tech jobs that restore manufacturing and fight climate change. We can build an upstate economy that works for working families. That's why I'm running for Congress."^[1]^[2]

Molinaro was elected Dutchess County executive in 2011 and was the 2018 Republican nominee for governor of New York.^[3] Molinaro focused on economic issues and public safety. "My priorities are the priorities of my constituents. thousands of people have talked to me about inflation and rising energy costs, providing adequate support to law enforcement, and helping to stop the flow of illegal drugs into our communities," Molinaro said.^[4]

Molinaro lost to Pat Ryan 51.1% to 48.8% in a special election on August 23, 2022, to fill the remainder of former Rep. Antonio Delgado’s (D) term. Delgado represented the 19th district from 2019 until May 25, 2022, when he resigned to become lieutenant governor.^[5]

The 19th district was redrawn after the 2020 census to include the cities of Ithaca and Binghamton. According to the Cook Political Report, the old district had a partisan lean of R+2, while the redrawn district had an even partisan lean.^[6]

In the 2020 presidential election, President Joe Biden (D) received 49.8% of the 19th district’s vote to former President Donald Trump’s (R) 48.3%. According to data from Daily Kos, Biden would have defeated Trump in the redrawn district 51.3% to 46.7%.^[7]

As of November 2022, 36% of the district's active voters were registered Democrats, 32% were registered Republicans, and 31% were either registered with some other party or unaffiliated.^[8]

Both candidates had the organizational and financial support of their respective national parties. Riley was a member of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's "Red to Blue" program, a project that supported Democratic candidates in competitive congressional districts. Molinaro was part of the National Republican Congressional Committee's Young Guns program, an initiative that supported Republican candidates running for Congress in open or Democratic-held House districts.

The outcome of this race affected the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 118th Congress. All 435 House districts were up for election.

Republicans won a 222-213 majority in the U.S. House in 2022.

Josh Riley

Party: Democratic Party, Working Families Party

Incumbent: No

Biography: Riley received a bachelor's degree from the College of William and Mary and a J.D. from Harvard University. Riley was a staff assistant to former Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.), a policy analyst at the U.S. Department of Labor, a clerk on the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, and a general counsel for Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Riley worked for the law firms Boies, Schiller & Flexner and Jenner & Block LLP.

Key Messages

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

Riley said he would adopt economic and trade policies that encouraged job growth in Upstate New York. "Upstate New Yorkers can compete with anyone anywhere, so long as we're competing on a level playing field. But career politicians and corporate interests sold us out with bad trade deals that shipped American jobs."

Riley highlighted his ties to the district. His campaign website said, "Josh Riley was born and raised in a working-class neighborhood in Endicott, New York. The four generations that came before him worked in the local factories, making shoes and boots at the Endicott-Johnson Shoe Company and circuit boards in the IBM factories."

Riley said he would focus on lowering the cost of healthcare. "As an attorney, I fought in federal court to provide access to healthcare for children from low-income families. In Congress, I’ll fight to make healthcare more affordable for everyone."

Marcus Molinaro

Party: Republican Party, Conservative Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office:

Dutchess County Executive (Assumed office: 2012)
New York State Assembly - District 103 (2007-2012)
Dutchess County Legislature (2001-2006)
Mayor of Tivoli, New York (1995-2005)

Biography: Molinaro graduated from Dutchess Community College. In 1994, Molinaro was elected to serve on the board of trustees for the Village of Tivoli, New York, and, in 1995, he was elected mayor of Tivoli. Molinaro served in the Dutchess County Legislature from 2001 to 2006 and represented the 103rd district in the New York State Assembly from 2007 to 2012. In 2011, Molinaro was elected to serve as county executive of Dutchess County. In 2015, he was elected second vice president of the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC). Molinaro was the Republican nominee for governor of New York in 2018.

Key Messages

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

Molinaro said his record of working with both parties produced results for Dutchess County. "Hyper-partisan and toxic politics are hurting our state, our nation. As a County Executive, I’ve worked with both sides to cut taxes and spending, fully fund police and lend a hand to those with disabilities through our Think Differently initiative."

Molinaro said President Biden's policies were inflationary and said tackling rising costs would be one of his priorities. "As a New Yorker who grew up on food stamps, I know inflation hurts working-class families harder than anyone else, and I'm running for Congress to offer solutions that will reduce inflation," Molinaro said.

Molinaro said he was more attuned to the district's needs than Riley. “While Josh Riley grew up in New York, he left us for a life in Washington, D.C.,” Molinaro said. "[...] I’ve been here working on solutions to create jobs, provide assistance to our veterans, and issues related to mental health," he added.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.^[9] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."^[10] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
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.^[11]
Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.^[12]^[13]^[14]

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.

Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was EVEN. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were about the same as the national average.
