I will fight for universal background checks, red flag laws, an assault weapons ban, and the resources needed to address the mental health crisis that too often fuels this devastating violence. Our children deserve to feel safe in their classrooms, and our communities deserve to live without fear.

I am also praying for the recovery of the student and teacher injured in this attack. But thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action.

I am heartbroken by the senseless tragedy at Silver Rail Elementary School in Oregon. Three children and their teacher should still be alive today. There are no words that can do such unimaginable loss justice, but my thoughts are with all of the families.

After serving at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, that’s the exact expertise I will bring to Washington.

Last year, Mike Lawler voted to ban states from regulating AI for 10 years. We cannot afford to wait a decade to enact guardrails that should already be put in place. We need members of Congress who actually understand how to regulate AI and ensure it doesn’t pose a threat to our national security.

AI poses a very real threat to the safety and security of the American people, and it’s long past time that Congress took action to regulate it. But Mike Lawler is standing in the way, because he’s looking out for his trillionaire backer Elon Musk.

As a proud graduate of Hudson Valley public schools, I will always fight to invest in and protect our public schools, ensuring our teachers have the support they need to give our kids a world-class education.

@CaitforNewYork.bsky.social is a dynamo! Cait Conley is about to unseat phony “moderate” Mike Lawler in NY-17. Lawler has a pitiful 13% lifetime rating on senior issues. Some “moderate”!!! Cait is a *fighter,* a West Point grad & 16-year army officer. Lawler is no match for her!

There is no place for perpetrators of domestic abuse and sexual assault, nor those who defend them, in Congress. It’s time we hold our representatives to a higher standard. Actions speak louder than words. Mike Lawler’s actions show he doesn't deserve his seat in Congress.

Just a couple months ago, Mike Lawler went on TV to defend domestic abuser Max Miller, victim-blame his ex-wife, and refuse to return his donations.

Tonight, Mike Lawler tried to erase the harm he’s caused the Hudson Valley by voting with Trump 100% of the time and looking out for his corporate and billionaire backers at the expense of working families. You deserve better. You deserve a patriot, not a puppet.

Mike Lawler has voted SIX times to rubber-stamp Trump’s war while 21 American service members have lost their lives overseas and gas is up to $4.50 a gallon here at home. Mike Lawler votes one way, Donald Trump’s way, no matter the harm it causes all of us. #NY17Debate

It’s been seven months since Donald Trump started a reckless war of choice with Iran — without clear military objectives, an exit strategy, or the support of the American people or our allies.

I’ll also create America’s first Public Service Home Loan Program, modeled after the VA Home Loan Program — so our police officers, teachers, nurses, and first responders can afford to own a home in the communities they serve. #NY17Debate

The cost of housing is out of control here in the Hudson Valley. That’s why I’ll vote to repeal Trump’s reckless tariffs that are jacking up construction costs — tariffs Mike Lawler has voted for EIGHT times.

Regardless of Mike Lawler’s performative outrage, the fact remains that he defended and refused to return money from horrific domestic abuser Max Miller. Actions speak louder than words. #NY17Debate

What happened at Cornell is abhorrent, and we need to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Women must feel safe and protected on their college campuses, and we need transparent investigations when survivors come forward.

Life has only gotten harder and more expensive in the Hudson Valley with Mike Lawler in office, voting with Donald Trump 100% of the time. Tariffs, the Iran War, tax breaks for data centers — Mike’s votes have jacked up costs on everything here in the Hudson Valley.

Mike Lawler votes with Donald Trump 100% of the time, even when it harms you. That includes voting EIGHT times for Trump's tariffs, which are costing Hudson Valley households $4,200 more, and then shrugging that off as “a little bit of short-term pain.”

Mike Lawler opposes a data center moratorium, and as a former lobbyist for the utility monopolies profiting off of data centers, he continues to rake in hundreds of thousands from Big Tech. He voted to give them $80 billion in tax breaks for data centers, then voted to make it easier to build them.

Mike Lawler is the biggest data center champion this district has ever seen. He even bragged last year about helping Rockland County become “the destination for data centers.”
