She got my vote.
Cait Conley has declared victory in the NY-17 Democratic primary. She will face Mike Lawler in November.
"Thank you to the voters of New York's 17th district who trusted me with their vote to be our fighter who takes on Mike Lawler in November. To everyone who voted for another candidate, I look forward to the opportunity to earn your support in taking back the Hudson Valley. We are united now by something much bigger than any one campaign: the fight to defeat Mike Lawler, take back the House, check this Administration, and deliver for the working families of the Hudson Valley," said NY-17 Democratic Nominee Cait Conley.
"My entire life, I have stepped up to solve some of the toughest problems facing our country and delivered results when it mattered most. I spent 16 years in the Army, deploying six times to combat zones to keep our families safe. I've gone from the battlefield to the Situation Room when the stakes were life and death, and I sure as hell am not afraid of a lifelong political hack like Mike Lawler."
"The people of the Hudson Valley deserve better. They deserve a representative who fights for the veteran trying to get the benefits they earned, the senior trying to afford a prescription, the parent trying to keep up with grocery bills, the immigrant family searching for a brighter future, the small-business owner trying to make payroll, and the young person wondering whether they can afford to build a life here. Tonight, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we get back to work and take our country back."
Do something positive.
