In a hotly contended special election to occupy a vacant House seat for the last four months of the current Congressional session, Democrat Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan defeated Republican Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro defeated.

Both Molinaro, New York’s Republican 2018 gubernatorial nominee, and Ryan also won Aug. 23 primaries in different congressional districts and will be on November ballots seeking full terms in Congress.
