Democrat Liz Whitmer Gereghty has announced she is suspending her campaign for New York’s 17th Congressional District. She says she is giving her support to former U.S. Rep. Mondaire Jones in his effort to unseat incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Lawler in the 2024 election. Gereghty is a former member of the Katonah-Lewisboro school board member whose sister is Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Lawler won the seat, which covers part of New York’s Hudson Valley, in 2022. Jones had initially won the 17th District seat in 2020 but ran in another district in 2022 after redistricting changed the geographic boundary lines. He lost in the Democratic primary for the 10th Congressional District in New York City.
