If Liz Whitmer Gereghty runs against the Republican who shockingly upset Democrats’ campaign chief last cycle, her family ties could bring a dose of star power
Democrats see the Hudson Valley seat as one of their best pickup opportunities in next year’s election, given that the district remains deeply blue — voters there favored President Joe Biden by 10 points in 2020 — despite the GOP’s gains during last year’s midterms. It’s still early in the cycle, but party strategists say recruitment here and in several other New York battlegrounds will be their top priority for 2024.
Republicans remain confident in Lawler, however, given his high name ID and lifelong roots in the community. They expect the first-term incumbent to attract plenty of party support — fundraising and otherwise — ahead of next November in light of his high-profile win last year. On the Democratic side, some more familiar names could enter the mix against Lawler. Former Rep. Mondaire Jones has publicly expressed interest in a run but is still undecided, according to two people familiar with his thinking.
Jones is likely to make a decision in the next month or two, one of those people said. He has stayed active in local politics and is set to headline a local party dinner later in April.

Whitmer and other Democratic leaders stressed that it was important to strike the law from the state's books to ensure it could never be enforced again. Wednesday’s signing marked another victory for abortion rights supporters after voters in Wisconsin elected a Democratic-backed Milwaukee judge Tuesday to the state’s Supreme Court, ensuring liberals will take over majority control of the court with the fate of the state’s abortion ban on the line.
