Democrat Pat Ryan Secures Reelection in New York's 18th District

Ryan's victory over Republican Alison Esposito holds off GOP expansion in key suburban areas.

Rep. Pat Ryan won reelection with a significant lead, securing over 59% of the vote in New York's 18th Congressional District.
The race was closely watched as it was one of the most competitive in the 2024 election cycle, with implications for control of the House.
Ryan's campaign focused on criticizing President Biden's administration, particularly on border security, to appeal to centrist voters.
Alison Esposito, a former NYPD officer, was a prominent supporter of Donald Trump, which Ryan used to position her as too extreme for the district.
The outcome of this race contributes to the broader battle for control of the House, where Republicans currently hold a slim majority.
