Gas prices have hit a record high, increasing pain at the pump.
Health care premiums are through the roof, leaving New Yorkers with impossible choices.
Billions of dollars are being spent on a war of choice overseas, further spiking everyday costs.
So why is Mike Lawler jetting off to Dallas, Texas to kiss the ring of Donald Trump instead of helping his constituents in the Hudson Valley?
Instead of working in Washington or hearing from his constituents who are paying more than $4/gallon for gas, Lawler will be spending his time in the Lone Star State this week to campaign with Trump.
Reminder: When Lawler campaigned with Trump in May, he bragged about their “strong” alliance and loudly declared that he was “proud to be here today for President Donald Trump.” Trump quickly returned the favor, calling him “fantastic.”
It’s time to ask: After voting with Trump 100% of the time and welcoming Trump and his buddies to NY-17 every chance he gets, has Lawler accepted defeat and begun auditioning for a job with Trump?
DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Mike Lawler continues to put Trump first and the Hudson Valley last. Lawler has voted 100% of the time with Trump, spending billions on a war of choice overseas while the cost of gas, groceries, and health care rise here at home. His loyalty to Trump over his own constituents will define his time in Washington and cost him his seat in November.”
