Starting May 12th through Election Day, all Democratic Primary voters in NY-17 across cable television, digital, streaming, and addressable cable platforms need to know:

  1. That Cait knows firsthand what working families in the district are going through and will fight to solve their problems:
    • Cait Conley is a fourth-generation Hudson Valley native, granddaughter of a Montrose brickyard worker, and daughter of a postal worker and a construction worker.
    • After 9/11, she went to West Point, became a decorated Army combat veteran, and served for 16 years, with 6 overseas deployments, and was one of the first women in special operations leadership.
    • Now she looks around and sees chaos, corruption, and illegal wars – all of them raising our costs. She’s running to stop Trump, defeat Mike Lawler, and make life better for families like her own.
  2. That Cait is the fighter who has what it takes to take on Trump and meet this moment:
    • Cait Conley is a Hudson Valley native and 16-year Army combat veteran [and was one of the first women in special ops leadership].
    • Cait’s served at the highest levels of government, including the White House, protecting our critical infrastructure and fighting against Trump’s Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen.
    • Cait was willing to die for a country she now barely recognizes: Trump needs to be stopped, ICE needs to be reined in, and the lawlessness must end. 
    • Tough problems call for tough leaders, and that’s Cait Conley.

Starting May 12th through Election Day, a subset of Democratic Primary voters on digital, streaming, and addressable cable platforms, specifically voters age 55+ in Dutchess, Putnam, and Rockland Counties, need to know that Cait is a patriot who has always put country over party:

  • Cait Conley is a proud patriot who dedicated her life to serving this country – West Point grad, 16 years in the Army, and 6 deployments overseas, as one of the first women in special operations leadership.
  • From combat zones to the White House Situation Room, Cait has fought to keep our families safe.
  • Cait’s running to cut through party politics and do what’s right for the working people of the Hudson Valley.
