Pat Ryan
Candidate for United States Congress
About Pat
A fifth-generation Ulster County native and decorated veteran, Pat Ryan has always been committed to serving his community and country. After graduating from West Point in 2004, Pat completed two combat tours in Iraq as an intelligence officer. Following his military career, Pat founded a successful technology company that eventually grew to 150 employees. Twice elected as County Executive, Pat turned Ulster County into a beacon for ecological resilience, economic growth, and social justice—all while managing a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, Pat stepped up and won the August 23rd Special Election to serve in the US Congress, filling the remainder of Antonio Delgado’s term, who left to become Lieutenant Governor. Now running in the new NY-18, Pat lives with his wife, Rebecca, and their two young sons in Gardiner, New York.
Elected to Congress in 2022, Pat has continued his fight to protect freedom, deliver economic relief, and ensure the safety of Hudson Valley families. With your support he hopes to build upon that progress in 2025.
Pat’s Priorities
Government that works for all
I’m committed to bringing government assistance directly to you.
An Economy that works for all
Hudson Valley families work hard day in and day out to make ends meet - I’m committed to delivering economic relief to ease the pressure.
Ensuring Safety for all
Hudson Valley families deserve to feel safe when they walk the streets of their neighborhood or take a trip downtown.
Clean Air, Soil, and Water for all
Every Hudson Valley family should be able to turn on the faucet and have the peace of mind knowing the water is clean and safe; they should be able to let their children run around on the playground without worrying about toxins or contaminants. That’s what I’m fighting for.
