The Dutchess County Democratic Committee endorsed Cait Conley for Congress in New York’s 17th Congressional District.
“The Dutchess County Democrats are proud to endorse Cait Conley to take on Mike Lawler in CD17 this November,” said Michael Dupree, Chair of the Dutchess County Democratic Committee. “Dutchess Democrats are ready to do what we do best: organize, unite, and get to work. We are so proud to stand with Cait in her fight to flip this seat and fight for an affordable economy for everyone in the Hudson Valley.”
“I am so proud to have the support of the Dutchess County Democratic Committee in our fight to take on Mike Lawler and flip NY-17,” said NY-17 Democratic candidate Cait Conley. “As someone who was born in Dutchess County, spent half of my childhood in Dutchess County, and whose family continues to live there, I know the struggles families in Dutchess are facing, and I cannot wait to be their fighter in Congress. Dutchess Dems know how to get the job done. In 2025, they flipped the Dutchess County legislature for the first time since 2009. We will win this race by engaging the entire district and taking the fight to Mike Lawler in every corner of the district.”
In addition to the Dutchess County Democratic Committee’s endorsement, Cait has earned dozens of other endorsements across NY-17 and beyond to include: Congressman Pat Ryan (D-NY-18), Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO-06), the Lewisboro, Pound Ridge, and Kent Democratic Committees, the Peekskill Democratic City Committee, Westchester County Legislator Emiljana Ulaj, City of Peekskill Deputy Mayor Patricia Riley, and Peekskill Councilmembers Kathie Talbot, Charlie DiGruccio, and Brian Fassett, Village of Haverstraw Trustee Richard Sena, Patterson Town Councilwoman Gwen Dougherty, as well as major national Democratic organizations including VoteVets, Equality PAC, The Next 50, Majority Democrats, and New Politics.
