After Bruising Primaries in New York, Democrats Look to November
Even as Cait Conley took the stage Tuesday night to thunderous cheers from her supporters celebrating her primary win in a critical House swing district in New York’s Hudson Valley, she wasted little time dwelling on her victory.
“America is at a crossroads,” she said somberly. “Who we are as America, the values that define us, the future that we hold — all of that is on the line.”
Defending those ideals, she said, would mean not only toppling Representative Mike Lawler, the two-term Republican congressman she will face in November, but also sending a message to Washington.
“This has never been about right and left,” Ms. Conley, a combat veteran and national security expert, said. “It’s about right and wrong.”
