Peter Oberacker, a Trump-backed Republican New York state senator, won a GOP primary on Tuesday evening, securing the GOP nomination to challenge incumbent Rep. Josh Riley<\/a>, D-N.Y.<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s 19th district, which encompasses an area north of Manhattan, is one of many competitive seats Republicans hope to flip<\/a> as they look to maintain control of the U.S. House of Representatives, where they hold a narrow majority.<\/p>\n

Despite a historically Democratic bent, Republicans last won the district in 2022.<\/p>\n

Oberacker, who has a background in food business, has served as a New York state senator since 2021. In his campaign, he has pitched himself as a pragmatic public servant with a diverse resume.<\/p>\n

“They say there are two things you should never see being made: laws and sausage. Well, I know both. Service has always called me. As a volunteer firefighter and EMT and as a town supervisor and county legislator,” Oberacker said in a campaign video.<\/a><\/p>\n

Oberacker received President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s endorsement earlier this year.<\/p>\n

“As your next Congressman, he will fight tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes<\/a> and Regulations, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Brave Military\/Veterans, Advance Election Integrity and Protect our always-under-siege Second Amendment,” Trump wrote.<\/p>\n

Most of Oberacker\u2019s work in the state Senate<\/a> has focused on rural agriculture, farms and ratepayer energy costs. In the past, Oberacker has introduced bills that looked to ban retroactive bills for businesses and a ban on using taxpayer funds to cover corporate losses. He has also spearheaded calls to investigate climbing utility prices.<\/p>\n

“Results matter. That\u2019s why I have introduced several bills as a part of my utility ratepayer bill of rights. This legislation<\/a> requires transparency and accountability from the utilities and gives power back to people \u2014 where it belongs,” Oberacker wrote in a recent post to Facebook.<\/a><\/p>\n

He has raised just shy of a million dollars, according to Federal Election Commission records.<\/a><\/p>\n

Having cleared the primary, Oberacker now heads to the general election,<\/a> where he will face off against Riley on Nov. 3.<\/p>\n

Riley, a first-term representative, won his seat in a narrow 51.1% to 48.8% victory over Rep. Marcus Molinaro, R-N.Y., in<\/a> 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
