Cait Conley

NY-17

Last updated July 31st, 2026 at 4:25pm GMT.

       

Voters in NY-17 will hear from Congressman Lawler on cable, digital, streaming, and in mailboxes in August that he is a fighter for his district who is not afraid to stand up to both parties – even President Trump – to deliver for his constituents. Voters will hear that Congressman Lawler raised the SALT cap, delivered on no tax on Social Security, tips, and overtime, and will stand up for law enforcement – and against sanctuary cities – to keep the Hudson Valley safe.

Voters will also hear shortly thereafter from Congressman Lawler on cable, digital, and streaming that Cait Conley wants to raise taxes on Hudson Valley residents by $4,000, stands with Kathy Hochul on supporting sanctuary cities and preventing law enforcement from doing their job, and wants to build data centers in the Hudson Valley while profiting from AI companies.

Note: Congressman Lawler is running on the Republican and Conservative Lines. Cait Conley is running on the Democrat and Working Families Party Lines.

  • Mike Lawler fought against both President Trump and Democrats in Congress to deliver on his promise to save and expand the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction – resulting in a tax cut for over 90% of Hudson Valley homeowners that saved families, workers, and seniors an average of $4,000.
