The NY-17 congressional district, which encompasses parts of Rockland and Westchester counties, has been a Democratic stronghold in recent years. However, Lawler's campaign focused on issues such as inflation, crime, and the economy, resonating with voters who felt that Jones was out of touch with their concerns. Lawler's victory is seen as a significant upset, as Jones was considered a rising star in the Democratic Party and had been endorsed by prominent figures such as President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
