I don’t know. I would imagine Pattrson will pick her replacement. I only know her from ads on TV. We have a summer place in the Adirondacks... visit a few times each year. Her political ads were on constantly... she had some serious cash behind her.

Governors never appoint members of the House of Representatives. They are all elected in regular and special elections.

For open House seats there must be a special election. Governors cannot apoint. That is a senatorial hangover from the days of state legislatures appointing senators. The House is the Peoples House and the people of the Hudson Valley will decide.
