A win by Ryan, a West Point grad and former Ulster County executive, underscores how well some Democrats have withstood tough political winds.
Rep. Pat Ryan has won a full term to represent the Hudson Valley in the US House, despite a tough challenge by state Assemblyman Colin Schmitt , who received backing from national Republicans.
Ryan campaigned hard on gun control and abortion rights after controversial US Supreme Court decisions this past summer, an approach that helped him beat Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro in the August race to represent the old 19th district. Ryan was replacing former Rep. Antonio Delgado, who resigned in May when Gov. Kathy Hochul made him her lieutenant governor.
Schmitt fought back with the help of national Republicans who criticized Ryan over Albany Democrats’ support for controversial criminal justice reforms such as limiting cash bail.
