Cait Conley is proud to receive her VoteVets endorsement from Max Rose, former NY congressman and combat veteran
OSSINING, NY – Today, VoteVets, the nation’s largest progressive veterans organization, officially endorsed Cait Conley for Congress in New York’s 17th District. A battle-tested combat veteran, national security expert, and fourth-generation Hudson Valley native, Cait has spent her life serving her country in the toughest moments and now she’s answering the call again to bring that same courage, discipline, and mission-first mindset to Washington.
“Cait Conley has the experience needed to flip this crucial seat as Democrats work to take back the House,” said VoteVets Senior Advisor and former New York Congressman Max Rose. A fourth-generation Hudson Valley native, Cait has dedicated her life and career to serving her country. Now, with Donald Trump’s reckless policies wreaking havoc on our economy and threatening our national security, Cait is stepping up to serve again because she knows what real leadership looks like and she has the grit needed to run a tough race and win. With Cait on the ballot, Democrats will win this race in the Midterms and the Hudson Valley will be served by someone who will always put their country and constituents first. We proudly endorse Cait and look forward to being in this fight with her.”
“I’m so proud to have the support of VoteVets, an organization that understands service to this country is a lifelong commitment, in and out of military uniform,” said NY-17 Democratic candidate Cait Conley. “During six overseas tours I led critical missions to dismantle Al-Qaeda, fight ISIS, and stop terrorist attacks against Americans from terror groups in places like Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen. These were no-fail operations where integrity, duty, and results were everything. VoteVets backs leaders who’ve carried that kind of responsibility and are ready to bring that battle-tested leadership to Washington. With VoteVets in my corner, I’m confident we’ll deliver the courage, accountability, and results our country, and New York’s 17th District, expect and deserve.”

That call began on 9/11, when, as a junior in high school, she watched the Twin Towers fall.

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.
