Happy New Year, NY-17 and beyond! As we kick off the New Year, I just want to say thank you. I’m so grateful, and truly humbled by what we’ve built together in just 10 months. This is just the beginning as we gear up for the real fight in 2026!!!

Another term with Mike Lawler is something we cannot afford.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! If presents or cookies are missing, it may be because these two Santa’s helpers ate them, but don’t worry they are still on the nice list, we checked… twice!

It was so great to join First Hebrew Congregation and the NAACP-Peekskill for the 15 Days of Light Ceremony on Monday. Such a beautiful gathering in celebration of Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.

It is local public leaders on the front lines who are truly delivering for our communities everyday. That is why I am so honored to be endorsed by one of the best out there, former Mayor of Ossining @citizenmama.bsky.social.

41,000 American jobs—that’s how many we lost in October and November alone. And instead of standing with working Americans, this Administration is prioritizing tax breaks for billionaires and reckless tariffs so they can give favors to their corporate best friends.

We’ve answered the call before, and we’re answering it again. So proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my fellow Hell Cats in this fight to take back the House in 2026.

Thank you to everyone who came out last week in Piermont. Such a wonderful group of Patriots ready to bring change to the Hudson Valley.

And there it is. Congressional Republicans are letting crucial healthcare subsidies expire on Jan 1, guaranteeing premiums double for over 20 million Americans.

Great Saturday night celebrating the holiday season with wonderful community leaders and friends from the Lewisboro Dems!

Don’t get too excited Mike Lawler. You won’t get bailed out by 1.7m again like you did last year.

Wishing a happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate in NY-17 and beyond. And as we celebrate, we also keep in our memories those we lost in the tragic shooting in Australia. Violence and anti-semitism have no place in our world, and we must continue to fight back against this hatred.

It was so great to join friends Friday night at a cookie exchange in Chappaqua Friday night. Such a fun way to kick off the weekend and spend time with neighbors—thank you to everyone who shared treats and good company!

Duty. Honor. Country. @rebeccabennettforcongress.com – sorry, but Army is taking this one! Go Army, Beat Navy!

I’m proud to have earned the endorsement of this incredible committed patriot and public servant, Michael G. O’Connor.

This weekend I had such a blast celebrating my niece’s Sweet Sixteen. It was beautiful to see not just friends and family celebrating, but also the incredible NY public school teachers and coaches who have played such an important role in her life.

I am honored to have the support of the incomparable Patricia Riley. Her commitment to our community inspires me every day, and I’m grateful for her confidence in our campaign. Now let’s go win!!

Immigrants in our community should not live in fear of our own government. I have been to countries where masked agents disappear their own people off the streets – they are war zones and dictatorships, not America.

It's time we bring leaders of character back to represent NY-17. My name is Cait Conley – I am running for congress to defeat Mike Lawler. Our community and our country need leaders of character ready to deliver for the Hudson Valley.

Trying to secretly rip IVF protections out of the NDAA is a slap in the face to every service member and military family who needs help starting a family. This republican Congress’s war on healthcare for veterans is disgusting. And it must be stopped.

I am honored to have the support of three incredible leaders and public servants in Yorktown: Lanny Gilbert, Diana Quast, and Jann Mirchandani.

Thank you to everyone who came out to Pints and Patriots in Pleasantville. The energy of you all ready to fight for a better future for the Hudson Valley fuels me on the campaign trail everyday.

We owe the next generation a country better than the one we inherited – and the path we’re on right now isn’t going to get us there.

People right here in the Hudson Valley are hurting, and Republicans have failed them. Families are watching their premiums double. That’s unacceptable. We need real leaders who will deliver real relief, not make life harder.

As New Yorkers have their health care ripped away, Mike Lawler's law is giving large corporations an additional $16 billion in tax breaks this year.

As winter has started, New Yorkers are paying some of the highest electric bills in the country. Bills have gone up 33% in the last 10 years, with families bracing for even higher heating costs this winter. We don’t have to accept this.

So great to join the Peekskill NAACP this week. I’m grateful for their leadership and commitment to justice and opportunity for every family in our community.

Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. Today I’m especially grateful for this community – for every person in NY17 and beyond who’s shown up, volunteered, chipped in, and believed in what we’re building together.

Spent this morning helping prepare Thanksgiving meals with some incredible volunteers and Assemblymember Chris Burdick at Temple Shaaray Tefila. Grateful for this community in service to one another.

The only person Mike Lawler cares about is himself. I’m running to actually fight for this district and lower costs for working families in the Hudson Valley.

Intimidation won’t keep us out of this fight. This is about who we are as a nation.

$856 – that’s how much MORE the average NY family has paid due to Trump's inflation this year compared to last year. And that’s only counting through September.

This weaponization of the executive branch against a political opponent is egregious and straight up un-American. This administration keeps going further and further over this line in ways that undermine our Constitutional norms. This isn't ok and we cannot normalize it.

In what world is nursing not a professional degree. We already have a nursing shortage—we need policies that help drive young people into nursing not away from it.

Thank you to Gwen, Nora, Julia, Becca, Brett, Alex, and Lenny for your endorsements. I know I can beat Mike Lawler and deliver real leadership to the Hudson Valley, but I can’t do it alone.

I was in Rockland this weekend helping pass out food for Thanksgiving with TOUCH and Rockland Community Against Hunger, and I am once again reminded what makes the Hudson Valley so special. We show up for one another.

I am deeply grateful for the support of Village of Haverstraw Trustee Richard Sena. Richard has always fought for what’s right, and his endorsement reflects exactly what this moment demands: courage and a commitment to protecting working families.

Thank you to Giffords PAC for your incredible support. As an army combat veteran and gun owner, I understand the responsibility that comes with firearms.

This is America failing – recent grads are increasingly being hung out to dry. We need to be planning for a changing workforce – increasing pathways to the middle class and ensuring young adults don’t start their careers with thousands of dollars in debt with fewer prospects.

Swing by Soul Brewing Company this Saturday for Pints & Patriots! I’d love to grab a pint, meet you, and talk about where we’re headed here in NY-17. Hope to see you there! RSVP: bit.ly/4pckch7

Huge thank you to Green Ossining and Ossining Town Democratic Committee for hosting this week's forum, and for all the thoughtful questions.

Team Cait continues to grow! I am excited to announce even more endorsements from elected officials and service-oriented leaders across NY-17.

The energy in Putnam is incredible. Make no mistake – we are going to flip NY-17 blue in 2026 because of the incredible work done in Putnam County in 2025. We flipped critical town council and supervisor seats, and made HUGE gains across the county.

It was so great to spend yesterday with Westchester Black Women’s Political Caucus Greater Bedford. These women are incredible leaders in our community – and they are how we are going to flip NY17 and deliver for Hudson Valley families.

Great to meet everyone in Suffern earlier this week.

I am honored to have the support of Cortlandt Supervisor Dr. Richard Becker. A true leader and selfless servant who puts delivering for our community first. Time to flip NY-17 and get leadership at the federal level that will support our incredible state and local leaders in the Hudson Valley.

Join me at Soul Brewing Company for Pints & Patriots! Grab a pint, bring a friend, and let’s talk about the future of NY-17 together. Hope to see you there! RSVP: bit.ly/4pckch7

Grateful to join so many at the Choice Matters Candidate Forum who know that reproductive freedom isn’t up for debate, and who are ready to stand up and fight to protect it. I’m right here with you.

We’ve served our country in uniform. Now we are stepping up to serve again. We are The Hell Cats — four female veterans that are going to flip the House in 2026. Join the mission → www.hellcats.us/

Today, we honor every man and woman who’s worn our nation’s uniform, those who put service above self and fought to defend our country and our Constitution.
