TWO CRUCIAL ELECTIONS on August 23rd will effect control of Antonio Delgado’s seat in Congress.
NY19 SPECIAL ELECTION
AUGUST 23
(Election to Complete Current NY19 District Term):
Antonio Delgado, appointed NY Lt. Governor, was sworn in to this new position on May 25, leaving his congressional seat vacant. This triggers NYS Law calling for a Special Election. Voters will determine who completes Delgado’s term serving the current NY19 District.
There will be no primary for this Special Election. NYS Law calls for the Party Chairs of the current NY19 Election District to select their party’s candidate. Democrats have selected Pat Ryan*. Pat will face Republican Marc Molinaro in this Special Election on Tuesday, August 23rd.
NY19 DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ELECTION
AUGUST 23
(Election for New NY19 District Term starting 2023):
There will also be a Democratic Primary on August 23rd. Democrats Josh Riley* and Jamie Cheney* are running for this seat. Voters will determine which Democrat will face Republican Marc Molinaro in the General Election on November 8. This election will be the next term of the newly drawn NY19.
