THE STEADY STATE ENDORSES CAIT CONLEY FOR NEW YORK’S 17TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

WASHINGTON — The Steady State, an organization of more than 420 former national security, intelligence, diplomatic, military, law enforcement, and homeland security officials, today endorsed Caitlin Conley for New York’s 17th Congressional District.

Cait Conley is running for Congress in New York’s 17th District. Hailing from Hudson Valley roots, she was the first in her family to graduate college after earning a nomination to West Point. She served 16 years as an Army officer, deploying six times to combat zones including Iraq and Afghanistan and earning three Bronze Stars. She then worked as Director for Counterterrorism on the White House National Security Council and at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) under President Biden, where she helped protect America’s elections and critical infrastructure.

Cait Conley demonstrates a consistent commitment to the rule of law, supports nonpartisan oversight and accountability of the Executive Branch, exhibits a substantive understanding of the national security challenges facing the country, and upholds the democratic norms and ethical standards of public service that the organization’s criteria require.

“Cait Conley recognizes what many politicians miss: that apolitical, professional intelligence and defense institutions are a strength, not a threat,” said Steven Cash, Executive Director of The Steady State.
