In the 2026 midterm elections, Democrat Cait Conley won against Republican incumbent Mike Lawler in New York's 17th Congressional District. Despite Lawler's strong support from Orthodox Jewish voters in Ramapo, he lost due to insufficient votes in traditionally Republican areas. Conley, an Army veteran and former national security official, led Lawler in Westchester County by a significant margin, with early voting showing a 2-1 advantage. Lawler conceded the race on November 4, 2026, and Conley expressed her commitment to addressing corruption and lowering costs for families. The election results were complicated by a software glitch that affected ballot counting in Westchester County, but officials assured the security of the ballots.
