Marc Molinaro said there’s no “magic” answer for why he lost the special election for New York’s 19th congressional district in August, but he remains hopeful that there is a brighter Election Day ahead.
Molinaro lost to Democrat Pat Ryan in the special election to fill the seat vacated by Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado just two months ago — but now the district’s lines have been redrawn and Ryan has chosen to run in the neighboring 18th congressional district. Molinaro will now face off against political newcomer Josh Riley, who previously worked under former congressman Maurice Hinchey and Senators Ted Kennedy and Al Franken.
