In 2023, representative, Mike Lawler, announced his retirement from politics, serving New York's 17th Congressional District since 2010. This led to a heatly contested battle for the Republican nomination. Alan Caswell registered his name under the Republican primary. During the campaign, he recivied several high profile endorsements from Democratic Representative Mason Jackson, of Michigan's 5th Congressional District, Zachary Husted, a news owner of the Daily Divine and campaigning representative from Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District, and Austin Baker, an entrepreneur and donator to several high republican positions. During the campaign, he participated in 2 debates, which viewers thought he won both of them. On June 26th 2024, he easily won the republican primary and advanced to the general election, where he faced Joe Bowman, a former attorney general of New York and brother of Representative Jaamal Bowman of New York's 16th District. Largely due to the controversy surrounding Jaamal Bowman's pulling of a fire alarm 20 days before election day, the race shifted towards Alan Caswell's lead. Caswell pledged to vote on tax cuts, an end to funding in ukraine, a partial abortion ban, and to bring patriotism back to our youth.
