VICTORY: Gun safety champion Cait Conley elected to the U.S. House in NY-17

WASHINGTON —GIFFORDS PAC, the national gun violence prevention organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, congratulated Cait Conley on winning her election to represent New York’s 17th Congressional District.

“Congratulations to Cait Conely on her hard-fought win in this critical race. I am thrilled that voters across NY-17 will be sending a fourth-generation Hudson Valley native and gun safety champion to Washington,” said former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. “Congresswoman-elect Conley has dedicated her career to advancing public safety and will work tirelessly to keep guns out of the wrong hands. GIFFORDS was proud to be an early supporter of Conley’s campaign and we look forward to working with her in Congress to enact commonsense gun safety reforms that will save lives in the Hudson Valley and beyond.”

GIFFORDS PAC endorsed Conley’s bid to flip NY-17 in November 2025 and former Congresswoman Giffords made several appearances with Conley on the campaign trail this cycle. In the closing weeks of the race, former Congresswoman Giffords and Conley convened a roundtable discussion focused on addressing gun violence as a major crime prevention and public safety issue for voters in NY-17.
