Summary
Beth Davidson and Cait Conley have emerged as the leading contenders in New York’s June 23 Democratic primary to face Republican Representative Mike Lawler in November.
Mike Lawler represents a swing Hudson Valley district where Democrats outnumber Republicans, making him one of the GOP’s most vulnerable House incumbents.
Kamala Harris carried the district in 2024 after Joe Biden won it in 2020, and Democrats see President Donald Trump’s growing unpopularity in New York as a potential boost.
The race has turned increasingly bitter, with Davidson and Conley trading attacks that could leave the eventual nominee weakened ahead of the general election.
