Who is my U.S. representative in NY-17?
Your current U.S. Representative for NY-17 is Mike Lawler (R), who represents the district covering Rockland, Putnam, and most of Northern Westchester counties, plus part of southern Dutchess County. He can be reached at 202-225-6506 or through his official website at lawler.house.gov. Whatdistrictamiin A couple of things worth noting since you're asking mid-2026: Lawler is running for a third term this fall, and Democrat Cait Conley won her party's nomination on June 23, 2026, to challenge him in the November 3, 2026 general election. Cook Political Report has rated this race as one of the few genuine "tossups" in the country. Spectrum Local News Spectrum Local News There's also litigation history around NY's district maps — New York's top court ordered a new congressional map back in January 2026 — so it's worth double-checking that you're still in the same district as before if your address is near a boundary. Ballotpedia If you want, I can look up your specific address/ZIP to confirm you're in NY-17 rather than a neighboring district.
