• Republican congressman tries to outrun a potential blue wave in New York toss-up seat (houstonpublicmedia.org) — A high-stakes congressional race that could decide control of the U.S. House is playing out partly in Chappaqua, where Rep. Mike Lawler has campaigned while trying to balance support for Donald Trump with an independent image. Voters across the Hudson Valley, including in nearby commuter towns, are weighing concerns like taxes, immigration, and living costs as Democrat Cait Conley works to peel away moderates and independents.
   

• Hochul brushes off outrage over why migrants keep getting released, re-arrested under NY's bail, sanctuary laws (nypost.com) — Chappaqua took center stage in New York's heated debate over bail and sanctuary policies when Gov. Kathy Hochul and Republican critics converged locally this week.
