The matchup in the Empire State district, which covers New York's Catskills and mid-Hudson Valley regions, may serve as a sign of what's ahead for Republicans in this fall's midterm elections as both candidates brought opposing priorities to the forefront of their campaigns.
In the final week of campaigning to represent the 19th District, which President Biden carried by less than 2 points in the 2020 election, Ryan, an Army veteran, said during a campaign rally in Woodstock that he hopes to "send another message as the national spotlight starts to shift" to Democrats.
