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:
- 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.
- 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.
