Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg visited Westchester County to support Democratic candidate Cait Conley in her bid against Republican incumbent Rep. Mike Lawler, marking a high-profile effort to bolster local party efforts ahead of the election. The campaign stop highlighted ongoing Democratic strategy to mobilize voters without explicitly referencing President Joe Biden, whose name was notably absent from public remarks. With midterm races intensifying, the visit underscores the party’s focus on down-ballot contests as key to broader electoral success. Details on the event’s impact and broader campaign dynamics remain to be seen.
Buttigieg was in Tarrytown, Westchester County, to help boost Democrat Cait Conley in her race against Republican Rep. Mike Lawler though neither Democrat mentioned former President Joe Biden by name.
