2008 Republican primary

Three Republicans have announced they are seeking the nomination to run against Democrat incumbent John Hall. They are (in alphabetical order): former Congressman Joseph DioGuardi of Westchester, Iraq vet, lawyer and Highschool teacher Kieran Michael Lalor of Wappingers Falls, and Vice Chairman of the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) Andrew Saul of Westchester. State Assemblyman Greg Ball is also mentioned as a possible candidate.
Until 2006, the 19th Congressional District was considered a reliably Republican district and the National Republican Congressional Committee has targeted Hall for the 2008 election cycle.

Election results

Note that in New York State electoral politics there are numerous minor parties at various points on the political spectrum. Certain parties will invariably endorse either the Republican or Democratic candidate for every office, hence the state electoral results contain both the party votes, and the final candidate votes (Listed as "Recap").
