Recent election results from statewide races

History

; 1873–1875: Montgomery ; 1913–1983: Parts of Manhattan ; 1983–1993: Parts of Bronx, Westchester ; 1993–2003: {{ubli | All of Putnam | Parts of Dutchess, Orange, Westchester

2003–2013

| All of Putnam | Parts of Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, Westchester

From 2003 to 2013, the 19th was composed of parts of Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, and Westchester Counties, in addition to the entirety of Putnam County. Much of this district is now the 18th district, while the current 19th is essentially a merger of the former 20th district and 22nd district.

2013–2023

| All of Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Schoharie, Sullivan, Ulster | Parts of Broome, Dutchess, Montgomery, Rensselaer

After redistricting in 2012, the 19th district comprised all of Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Schoharie, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties; and parts of Broome, Dutchess, Montgomery, and Rensselaer Counties. The district borders Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut to the east; and Pennsylvania to the southwest. Democratic President Barack Obama won the new district by 6.2% in 2012, while Republican Donald Trump won the district by 6.8% in 2016.

Incumbent Representative Nan Hayworth opted to follow most of her constituents into the new 18th district in 2012, but she was defeated by Democrat Sean Patrick Maloney, a former advisor to President Bill Clinton. Most of the 2003-13 19th district became part of the 2013-23 18th district. Meanwhile, incumbent 20th district representative Chris Gibson ran for re-election in the new 19th district and won. On January 5, 2015, per his pledge when elected not to serve more than 4 terms, Gibson announced that he would not run for re-election in 2016.

In 2016, Democrat Zephyr Teachout was defeated by Republican John Faso in the election. In 2018, Faso was defeated after only 1 term by Democrat Antonio Delgado. In 2022, Delgado resigned to become Lieutenant Governor, leaving the seat vacant. Democrat Pat Ryan won the special election to complete Delgado's term on August 23, 2022.

This iteration of the district was a presidential bellwether for the duration of its existence, having voted for the winner in each election from 2012 to 2020.

2023–present

| All of Broome, Chenango, Columbia, Cortland, Delaware, Greene, Sullivan, Tioga, Tompkins | Parts of Otsego, Ulster Ryan ran in the 18th district in the November 2022 general election due to redistricting, while Democrat Josh Riley, who ran in the Democratic primary, lost to Republican Marc Molinaro in the 19th district. In the November 2024 general election, Josh Riley defeated current representative Marc Molinaro. Molinaro refused to concede until the last ballots were counted, despite the AP's conclusion that he had no path to victory.
