ITHACA – It appears that there will be a rematch in the 19th Congressional District race in November a Democrat Josh Riley, who lost to Republican Marcus Molinaro, announced on Tuesday that he is throwing his hat back in the ring.

In 2022, Riley earned over 49.2 percent of the vote.

“He said he is running again because “I believe this is a Valley for Opportunity, and we deserve a politics that serves hard-working Upstate New Yorkers, not deep-pocketed special interests.”

He said he will always protect Social Security, defend a woman’s right to choose, and fight to strengthen the middle class. He said he will never accept any corporate PAC money.

“I’m less than 100 days into my term. I’m focused on delivering bipartisan results for Upstate New York. I will run on this record if my opponent is Josh Riley, Daniel Butterman, or someone who has yet to announce,” Molinaro responded.

Riley hails from the Ithaca area and Molinaro is from Dutchess County where he served as county executive until his election to the House of Representatives last fall.
