Westchester County Legislator Emiljana Ulaj endorsed Cait Conley for Congress in New York’s 17th Congressional District. Legislator Ulaj is a representative of District 9, which encompasses the Towns of Cortlandt and Ossining, and the Villages of Briarcliff, Buchanan, Croton, and Ossining.
“The weight of the moment that we are in cannot be overstated,” said Westchester County Legislator Emiljana Ulaj. “A rogue federal administration, a broken system leaving Americans without hope, our infrastructure falling apart from roads, to flooding, to our energy grid. We need a fighter who will stand up for us and deliver. Cait Conley is the patriot CD-17 has been waiting for. I’ve been deeply impressed with how Cait sees the big picture: her empathy for hardworking Americans who are getting the short end of the stick, to her outrage against Lawler for not delivering for our district. As New Yorkers come to know Cait as I have, they will embrace her as the champion we deserve.”
“I’m incredibly honored to earn the support of Legislator Emiljana Ulaj in our fight to protect the American Dream and expand opportunities for working families in the Hudson Valley,”said NY-17 Democratic candidate Cait Conley.“Emiljana is a fierce leader in our community who works tirelessly to advocate and deliver real results for her constituents. With a fighter like her in my corner, we’re going to flip this seat in November and hold Mike Lawler accountable for turning his back on the Hudson Valley.”
In addition to Legislator Ulaj’s endorsement, Cait has earned dozens of other endorsements across NY-17 and beyond to include: Congressman Pat Ryan (D-NY-18), the Lewisboro and Pound Ridge Democratic Committees, 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, City of Peekskill Councilmembers Kathie Talbot, Charlie DiGruccio, and Brian Fassett, 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.
