; 1873–1875:
Montgomery ; 1913–1983: Parts of
Manhattan ; 1983–1993: Parts of
Bronx,
Westchester ; 1993–2003:
2003–2013 From 2003 to 2013, the 19th was composed of parts of
Dutchess,
Orange,
Rockland, and
Westchester Counties, in addition to the entirety of
Putnam County. Much of this district is now the
18th district, while the current 19th is essentially a merger of the former
20th district and
22nd district.
2013–2023 After redistricting in 2012, the 19th district comprised all of
Columbia,
Delaware,
Greene,
Otsego,
Schoharie,
Sullivan, and
Ulster Counties; and parts of
Broome,
Dutchess,
Montgomery, and
Rensselaer Counties. The district borders
Vermont,
Massachusetts, and
Connecticut to the east; and
Pennsylvania to the southwest. Democratic
President Barack Obama won the new district by 6.2% in
2012, while Republican
Donald Trump won the district by 6.8% in
2016. Incumbent Representative
Nan Hayworth opted to follow most of her constituents into the new 18th district in 2012, but she was defeated by Democrat
Sean Patrick Maloney, a former advisor to President
Bill Clinton. Most of the 2003-13 19th district became part of the 2013-23 18th district. Meanwhile, incumbent 20th district representative
Chris Gibson ran for re-election in the new 19th district and won. On January 5, 2015, per his pledge when elected not to serve more than 4 terms, Gibson announced that he would not run for re-election in 2016. In 2016, Democrat
Zephyr Teachout was defeated by Republican
John Faso in the election. In 2018, Faso was defeated after only 1 term by Democrat
Antonio Delgado. In 2022, Delgado resigned to become
Lieutenant Governor, leaving the seat vacant. Democrat Pat Ryan won the
special election to complete Delgado's term on August 23, 2022. This iteration of the district was a presidential bellwether for the duration of its existence, having voted for the winner in each election from
2012 to
2020.
2023–present Ryan ran in the
18th district in the November 2022 general election due to redistricting, while Democrat Josh Riley, who ran in the
Democratic primary, lost to Republican
Marc Molinaro in the 19th district. In the November 2024 general election, Josh Riley defeated current representative Marc Molinaro. Molinaro refused to concede until the last ballots were counted, despite the AP's conclusion that he had no path to victory. == Counties, towns, and municipalities ==
