Higher office aspirations{{see also|New York's 19th congressional district election, 2008|New York gubernatorial election, 2010|United States Senate special election in New York, 2010}}There had been speculation that Diana was being recruited by the National Republican Congressional Committee for a run against freshman incumbent John Hall in New York's 19th congressional district. Representing the second largest county in the district, Diana would have strong name recognition in the area which gave Hall his narrow victory in 2006.[1] In January 2008, Diana officially ruled out a run against Hall, stating he would prefer to seek a third term as County Executive.[2] For the 2010 election season, Diana expressed interest in pursuing the post of Lieutenant Governor of New York on Rick Lazio's ticket.[3] He has also expressed interest in running in the United States Senate special election in New York, 2010 against incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand.[4] Electoral history{{Election box begin | title=Orange County Executive, 2009 – General Election [5]}}{{Election box candidate with party link||party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Ed Diana (I) |votes = 35,806 |percentage = 62.0% |change = Republican hold }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Pat O'Dwyer |votes = 21,949 |percentage = 38.0% |change = }}{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin | title=Orange County Executive, 2005 – General Election[6]}}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Ed Diana (I) |votes = 40,082 |percentage = 61.9% |change = Republican hold }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Mike Edelstein |votes = 24,656 |percentage = 38.1% |change = }}{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin | title=Orange County Executive, 2001 – General Election[7]}}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Ed Diana |votes = 40,150 |percentage = 61.5% |change = }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Michael Sussman |votes = 25,147 |percentage = 39.5% |change = }}{{Election box end}} Notes1. ^Benjamin, Elizabeth.
