TARRYTOWN- Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg was in the Hudson Valley this week appearing before 1,000 supporters of Cait Conley, the Democratic candidate challenging two term Congressman Mike Lawler in November.
The Tarrytown Music Hall was filled to the rafters to hear Buttigieg tell the enthusiastic crowd: “We don’t have to put up with today’s policies, politicians, and broken political system. We could chase out corruption and build a better politics that responds to the people. To do that, we must elect leaders who understand who they ought to work for, and voters have a chance to do that by electing Cait Conley to the United States Congress. Cait has proven that she is serious about keeping our country safe, just like she is serious about bringing down the cost of housing, healthcare, and energy. And she will take on corruption because she believes that politicians shouldn’t profit from our democracy, which is a bit of a contrast in this race.”
Conley was appreciative: “Hudson Valley voters know they don’t have to settle for a corrupt career politician like Mike Lawler — who will always put himself, Donald Trump, and the corporations and special interests backing his campaign first. It’s going to take each and every one of us, but come November 3rd, we’re going to send Mike Lawler packing and take the first step toward a better, more affordable future for all of us — because America’s best days are still ahead of us.”
The 17th Congressional District encompasses all of Putnam and Rockland counties in addition to sections of Westchester and Dutchess.
