Keynote Speaker: Cait Conley,
Candidate for Congressional District 17
Cait’s Hudson Valley roots run four generations deep. After graduating from West Point, Cait served 16 years in the Army, deploying six times overseas to keep us safe. Cait’s career as a public servant continued here at home, serving as the Director for Counterterrorism on the National Security Council (which got her banned from Russia), and then keeping our elections systems and infrastructure secure at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, where she stood up directly to Trump. Cait worked directly with Congress on the most complicated threats, writing federal legislation to address critical national security issues. From combat zones to the White House Situation Room, Cait has served at the highest levels of the federal government. She has the strength and courage to stop Trump’s agenda, and the proven leadership experience to get things done.
