The race for Rep. Mike Lawler's seat in the Hudson Valley is becoming more contentious, with Westchester County Democratic Party Chair Suzanne Berger stating that the party is moving into a new phase. The Westchester Democratic Party will vote on April 15 on who will be endorsed in the primary. Cait Conley and Beth Davidson have raised over $710,000 so far this year, while millionaire tech mogul Peter Chatzky has over $5.5 million on hand. Effie Phillips-Staley, an underdog candidate who raised $149,000 this year and has $68,000 on hand, is also still in the race. Meanwhile, former TV reporter Mike Sacks has been busy collecting petitions.
