BINGHAMTON – Republican Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro has defeated Democrat Josh Riley in the race for the 19th Congressional District.

Molinaro polled 50.25 percent of the vote to Riley’s 48.07 percent with a 6,185 vote margin of victory.

“There are big problems facing America and Americans and I look forward to going to fight for the people of upstate New York,” he told Mid-Hudso0n News.

Riley issued a statement early Wednesday morning saying he is down, but not out yet. “We understand that there are an unknown number of absentee ballots to be counted and affidavit ballots to be processed. We want to be sure every voice is heard, and we are going to do that,” said Riley.
