Cait Conley has had multiple chances to denounce the Socialist Sweep of New York City, but every single time she’s deflected, dodged, or outright accepted their support in her race for Congress. Today, the Lawler for Congress campaign announced a five-figure ad buy to hold her accountable.

Pearl River, NY — 6/30/2026… Fresh off her under-50% primary win, Cait Conley sat down with CBS, Bloomberg TV, and NBC and received what should have been a layup question on every program about the socialist sweep in New York City. Yet every time, she avoided the question and moved on, even when confronted with a clip of Brad Lander, architect of the Defund the Police movement in NYC, saying he was excited to campaign for her. Then, Cait doubled down, saying she would welcome his support!

This is in stark contrast to the actions taken by members of Conley’s own party from New York, including Tom Suozzi, who have pledged to fight the radical left.

Today, the Lawler for Congress campaign is announcing a five-figure buy to air these clips so every voter in NY-17 can see Cait Conley’s cowardice for themselves.

Lawler for Congress Campaign Manager Ciro Riccardi offered the following statement in light of this new ad spend:

“Cait Conley will be held accountable throughout this campaign for her far-left positions, and that starts today. Saying you would ‘welcome’ socialists like Brad Lander, Zohran Mamdani, and the rest of the DSA in the Hudson Valley is the opposite of moderate – it’s radical. Cait Conley says she wants to fight for the Hudson Valley, but she can’t even stand up and denounce someone who wants to abolish ICE, defund the police, raise taxes, and is Zohran Mamdani’s best friend. That lack of courage, also known as cowardice, in the face of radicalism is precisely why voters will send Cait Conley back to the private sector and big tech contract work this November.”
