Marking One Year Without Roe, DCCC Launches Campaign to Hold Mike Lawler Accountable for Anti-Abortion Extremism

One year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, increasingly vulnerable Rep. Mike Lawler has continued to stand by Republicans’ assault on reproductive freedoms, despite an overwhelming 80% of Americans who oppose a national abortion ban.

To highlight just how out of step Lawler is with the voters he represents, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this week announced new, early efforts to hold Lawler accountable for his willingness to hop onto the GOP’s anti-abortion crusade, including three new digital ads, backed by four-figure buys, that will run against Lawler and other vulnerable House Republicans:

The DCCC is making the stakes of this election crystal clear for Hudson Valley voters. With this campaign and others throughout the cycle, the DCCC will continue to highlight the extreme anti-abortion positions that Lawler has staked out.

To that end, the DCCC is distributing a fact sheet highlighting Lawler’s dangerous positions on stripping away reproductive freedoms HERE. 

DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“House Republicans will stop at nothing to ban abortion nationwide, and Mike Lawler has helped them every step of the way. In the earliest weeks of the MAGA majority, he voted to punish doctors for providing reproductive care. Lawler cannot be trusted to defend the fundamental rights and freedoms of women in the Hudson Valley and, as a result, will be voted out of office in 2024.”

Earlier this week, the DCCC released a memo detailing why abortion remains a key electoral issue for 2024, which can be found HERE.
