OSSINING, NY – Today, New Politics, a nonpartisan national organization that backs candidates who’ve answered the call to serve—from the battlefield to our communities—has endorsed Cait Conley for Congress in New York’s 17th Congressional District. A combat veteran, national security leader, and fourth-generation Hudson Valley native, Cait has spent her life stepping up to solve the hardest problems. Now, she’s bringing that same commitment to public service to a new mission: fixing what’s broken in Washington and delivering results for New Yorkers.
“Cait Conley embodies the kind of servant leadership our politics needs,” said Emily Cherniack, Founder and Executive Director of New Politics. “She has spent her life putting country over self, from the battlefield to the Situation Room, and has consistently stepped up when the stakes were highest. Cait doesn’t just believe in public service, she’s lived it. New Politics proudly supports her as she brings that same integrity, courage, and mission-driven focus to Congress.”
“I’m honored to have the support of New Politics,” said NY-17 Democratic candidate Cait Conley. “We share the belief that public service is about showing up when it’s hard, putting mission first, and working together to solve tough problems. That’s the kind of leadership I learned in the military and in national security, and it’s exactly what I’ll bring to Washington. I’m running for Congress to deliver real results for the people of New York and I’m proud to have New Politics by my side in this fight.”
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.
