We haven’t faced a housing crisis of this severity since after World War II, and it’s hitting the Hudson Valley hard. It should not bankrupt you just trying to make it to the middle-class.

When it comes to ensuring Americans can live with dignity, we need to have a strong floor and no ceiling.
Mike Lawler and I are about the same age, and we grew up about 30 miles apart. The difference between us is how we've spent our lives. As a career political operative and lobbyist, Mike was out there profiting off our democracy, while as a soldier, I was putting my life on the line defending it.
The Haitian community plays a critical role here in the Hudson Valley, serving as the backbone of our healthcare system. They are the nurses, the hospital staff, the at-home providers taking care of our families — and they deserve better.
I’m honored to be backed by the hardworking men and women of IATSE Local One, who operate behind the scenes to make the incredible performances we watch possible.
Mike Lawler loves to point the finger at everyone but himself. Since he took office, household utility rates have gone up more than 50%, and he’s done nothing to stop it. Then he allowed Trump to cut funding for energy projects in NY.
There’s no stopping #TeamCait! From Peekskill to Putnam Valley to Nyack to East Fishkill to Sleepy Hollow and beyond, we spent the weekend criss-crossing the district and talking to voters about the issues impacting them.
Our democracy won’t defend itself. Glad to join the Mt. Kisco Rally for Democracy yesterday with more than 250 motivated Hudson Valley voters, who are sick and tired of Washington corruption — which our own congressman, Mike Lawler, is enabling by voting with Trump 100% of the time.
Great start to the day this morning with Senator Pete Harckham, Senator Shelley Mayer, and the NY Dems at the opening of our new office in Peekskill!
Young people have lost faith in our government, and I don’t blame them. The corruption and partisanship in Washington is making the American Dream harder to achieve.
Never forget that Mike Lawler spent six months and over $1.5 million trying not to face me, because I was his “strongest potential challenger.”
Sending my love and support to the family and friends of Staff Sgt. Angel Rampersad, who was laid to rest today. We will always remember and honor her courage and selflessness. She represents the best of us.
Mike Lawler loves to talk about SALT, but what he conveniently leaves out is that Trump created the SALT deduction cap in 2017 to punish NY. It was set to expire ENTIRELY at the end of 2025, but Mike voted to make it a permanent tax on working families to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
And yet, Mike Lawler has voted to continue this reckless war FIVE times — as Americans overseas and at home suffer the consequences.
Most Americans say the war in Iran has not been worth fighting, according to a new AP-NORC poll. The findings also indicate that most Americans' goals for the conflict may not be aligned with President Trump.
SAVE THE DATE: Join @senatorharckham.bsky.social, the NY Dems, and me this Saturday at 10 am for the grand opening of our office in Peekskill! Afterward, we’ll hit the doors, talking to voters about our plans to tackle Washington corruption and make our communities more affordable.
Corruption in Washington is at an all-time high, as career politicians like Mike Lawler use their offices to enrich themselves and their lobbyist buddies. It’s time to put an end to that.
Nearly half a million New Yorkers have already lost their health insurance due to Donald Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ — which our own congressman, Mike Lawler, cast the deciding vote to enact.

When Donald Trump waged war with Iran, he had no objective, no exit strategy, and no support from Congress or our allies.

The past four years of Mike Lawler’s leadership have only resulted in additional hardship for Hudson Valley families, because he’s put himself and his lobbyist buddies ahead of the people he was elected to represent. Fortunately, this November, we have the chance to chart a new path for NY-17.
The dysfunction and partisanship in Washington has failed our Haitian community. The Senate must act immediately to pass a TPS extension. time.com/article/2026...

The potential crackdown follows a Supreme Court ruling that allowed the Trump Administration to end Haitians’ Temporary Protected Status.

What better way to mark 100 days out from Election Day than a jam-packed weekend of action featuring special guest @newyorkstateag.bsky.social
The Trump administration just further weaponized the executive branch and provided proof that they denied federal grant funds for critical energy projects to blue states and communities like ours.

From Mount Kisco and Putnam Valley, to Carmel and Chappaqua, to Yorktown and Ossining, to Pearl River and Clarkstown — #TeamCait was out in full force today meeting voters across the Hudson Valley. And we’ll be back out there tomorrow. If you see us, come say hi!
Last weekend, 250 energized Hudson Valley voters joined us at our campaign kickoff rally!
In honor of Mike Lawler’s FIFTH vote yesterday to continue the war with Iran, let’s take a trip down memory lane.
Mike Lawler has had the past four years to prove he can rise above the corruption and partisanship that plague Washington. Sadly, he’s failed, and the Hudson Valley is ready for change.
Let’s be clear: this was a horrific act of antisemitic violence. As antisemitism rises at alarming rates in New York and across the country, it’s incumbent upon all of us — especially our leaders in government — to fight back against it in all its forms and NEVER fuel it. pix11.com/news/local-n...
