OSSINING, NY – In case you missed it, last week NY-17 Democratic candidate and 16-year Army combat veteran Cait Conley announced that her campaign raised $480,000 in the second fundraising quarter of 2025 — more than any other Democratic challenger in the race.
Her Q2 haul brings her campaign total to over $800,000 raised in under 100 days, a clear sign Cait is building the momentum it’ll take to beat Mike Lawler. But that energy started on day one when Cait’s campaign launch brought in over $335,000 in just 8 days, including a record-breaking first 24 hours — the most ever raised by a first-time Democratic candidate in NY-17 history.
It’s clear that Cait’s not just in this race, she’s leading it.

About Cait Conley:
Cait Conley is a fourth-generation Hudson Valley native and the daughter of a postal worker and a construction worker. She is a decorated combat veteran and national security expert who has spent her life answering the call to serve. That call began on 9/11, when, as a junior in high school, she watched the Twin Towers fall. The next day, she started the process for applying to West Point — earning acceptance and becoming the first in her family to graduate college and then going on later to attend graduate programs at Harvard and MIT. Cait served 16 years as an active duty Army officer, deploying six times to take down the world’s most dangerous terrorists, and later led counterterrorism efforts on the National Security Council and at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Throughout her career, Cait has been called upon to solve the toughest problem and fix things that are broken. That’s why Cait is running for Congress — to fix a broken system and fight for a better future for New Yorkers.
