Antonio Delgado Democratic Pat Ryan Democratic Pre-consolidation: Post-consolidation: Pre-consolidation: Post-consolidation: The 2022 New York's 19th congressional district special election was a special election held on August 23, 2022.

[2] The seat became vacant after incumbent Democratic representative Antonio Delgado resigned on May 25, 2022, to become lieutenant governor of New York.

[3][4] Democratic nominee Pat Ryan won a slight victory over Republican nominee Marc Molinaro in what was seen as an upset due to Molinaro's lead in polls and fundraising in the weeks leading to the election.

This defied most polls, which had Molinaro winning by a somewhat comfortable margin as well as Sabato's Crystal Ball rating of Lean R. His victory can be attributed to his large margins in Ulster County.

[26][27] Ryan's victory led some forecasters to change some of their predictions for the 2022 House election.
