<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york">New York</a> Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney became the first Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) chair to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2022/10/24/sean-patrick-maloney-risks-being-first-dccc-chair-to-lose-seat-in-40-years-in-latest-sign-of-midterm-trouble-for-democrats/?sh=4d6132805519">lose</a> his seat in 40 years when he conceded to Republican challenger Mike Lawler on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Lawler, a first-term assemblyman, focused on crime and inflation to knock off the incumbent in the typically liberal 17th congressional district of New York.</p>
<p>Lawler, as of Wednesday afternoon, is at <span class="eln-15gsask" aria-hidden="true">50.6%, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/08/us/elections/results-new-york-us-house-district-17.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared</a> to Maloney&#8217;s 49.4%, with about 95% of the vote counted. </span></p>
<p>“I don’t like to lose, but my opponent won this race. He won it fair and square. That means something,” the big money-backed Democrat <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/09/nyregion/sean-patrick-maloney-lawler.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Wednesday. &#8220;The right thing to do is say the other guy won and wish him well.”</p>
<p>Early in the race, Maloney had a big advantage in <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/sean-patrick-maloney/summary?cid=N00034277&amp;cycle=CAREER" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cash</a> on hand, with $2.4 million compared to Lawler&#8217;s $435,588.</p>
<p>The Democrat was expected to win re-election before the race tightened in late October. That&#8217;s when the DCCC <a href="https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/politics/2022/10/24/dccc-spending--605-000-on-new-ad-for-rep--sean-patrick-maloney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> it was spending $605,000 on ads attacking Lawler.</p>
<p>Millions of GOP-aligned dollars were used to help back Lawler pick off Maloney.</p>
<p>“Congressman Maloney was very gracious. He said I ran a great race and deserved to win. I was very humbled,” Lawler <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/11/08/ny-election-day-live-updates-hochul-zeldin-governor-race-others/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> after the win.</p>
<p>The GOP seemed hopeful they could take the deep-blue state of New York by knocking off Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, too, but fell short. The Democratic stronghold proved too much for Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin, despite the state&#8217;s crime issues and continued inflation.</p>
<p>“I will lead with strength and compassion, not anger and fear,” Hochul <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/09/nyregion/kathy-hochul-governor.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> following her win, adding, “the lesson of tonight’s victory is that given the choice, New Yorkers refused to go backward in our long march toward progress.”</p>
