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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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...
