Beth Davidson’s Congressional Campaign Raises Over $850,000 in Less Than Five Months

Less than five months after launching her campaign for Congress in NY-17, Beth Davidson has raised over $850,000, demonstrating substantial grassroots support and increased momentum across the district. Davidson will report more $350,000 raised in the second fiscal quarter of 2025, from nearly 6,000 donors with an average contribution of under $65.

The broad-based fundraising results follow more than 150 endorsements for Davidson’s campaign, including the unified backing of Rockland County’s Democratic Party leadership and elected officials—a critical show of strength in a county that makes up 40% of the district—as well as a slate of major Westchester political leaders and community advocates.

“Winning this race is going to take real grassroots support, a history of winning tough fights and delivering for the Hudson Valley” said Beth Davidson. “I’m very grateful for the support our campaign has generated from people across NY-17 who want a proven fighter and someone who’s already beaten Republicans in tough races and knows how to help Hudson Valley families”

Davidson, the only Democratic candidate in the NY-17 congressional race who has won previous election campaigns and holds public legislative office, is currently an elected Rockland County Legislator and former Nyack School Board Vice President. She and her husband, Jeff, moved to Nyack 20 years ago, where they are raising their two children, both of whom attend public school.

With healthcare costs rising, economic pressures mounting, and public safety a top concern, Davidson’s personal story and track record of service to the Hudson Valley gain are attracting an increasing number of supporters from across the district who are actively working to defeat incumbent Rep. Mike Lawler.

New York’s 17th Congressional District includes all of Rockland and Putnam counties, northern Westchester County, and part of Dutchess County.
