Democrat Pat Ryan reelected to Congress in New York

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Pat Ryan has won a full term representing part of New York’s Hudson Valley in Congress, becoming one of just a few Democrats in the suburbs around New York City to hold off Republican opponents in the midterm election.

Ryan defeated Republican Colin Schmitt, a second-term state Assemblyman who conceded the race early Wednesday. The Associated Press declared Ryan the winner Friday after it became clear there weren't enough uncounted votes remaining for Schmitt to overcome the Democrat's slim lead.

Ryan, the former Ulster County executive, initially won a seat in Congress in August in a special election to finish out the term of former U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, who resigned to become New York’s lieutenant governor.

His contest with Schmitt took place in a newly redrawn congressional district where he had to introduce himself to a new batch of potential constituents.
