Congressional candidate Cait Conley announced the endorsement of the Peekskill Democratic City Committee in the race for NY-17, after a vote taken Tuesday evening.
“The Peekskill Democratic City Committee overwhelmingly endorsed Cait Conley in the CD-17 Primary,” said Steve Kollias, Chair of the Peekskill Democratic City Committee. “The path towards flipping the House of Representatives runs straight through Peekskill and CD-17! It is imperative that we flip this seat and take back the House to deliver on lower costs for families here in Peekskill.”
“The Peekskill Dems are a force to be reckoned with, as my Peekskill-born mom has shown me throughout life! I am incredibly proud to have them in my corner as we take on Mike Lawler,” said NY-17 Democratic candidate Cait Conley. “Winning this race will require us to fight in every corner of this district, and that is why we are building a coalition across all four counties. The constituents in this district are tired of Mike Lawler and the damage he is doing to our healthcare, our safety, and our economic future. That is what we are fighting for, and what Mike Lawler is failing to deliver on. With this team we have built, we will make that clear to voters come November, and I am grateful to have the Peekskill Democratic City Committee with me in this fight.”
In addition to the Peekskill Democratic City Committee endorsement, Cait has earned dozens of other endorsements across NY-17 and beyond to include: US Congressman Pat Ryan (D-NY-18), the Lewisboro, Pound Ridge, and Kent Democratic Committees, Westchester County Legislator Emiljana Ulaj, City of Peekskill Councilmembers Kathie Talbot, Charlie DiGruccio, and Brian Fassett, Chair of the Dutchess County Democratic Committee Michael Dupree, Cortlandt Town Supervisor Dr. Richard Becker, Lewisboro Deputy Supervisor Mary Shah and Town Councilwoman Julia Hadlock, Pound Ridge Supervisor Kevin Hansan, Village of Haverstraw Trustee Richard Sena, Patterson Town Councilwoman Gwen Dougherty, and national Democratic organizations like VoteVets, The Next 50, Majority Democrats, and New Politics.
