| As New Yorkers brace for day fifteen of a government shutdown, Mike Lawler still refuses to do his job – and his constituents are taking note.
While 240,000 New Yorkers stare down skyrocketing health care costs and Hudson Valley families brace for insurance premiums to more than triple next year, Mike Lawler can be found having manufactured meltdowns in the halls of Congress and crossing state lines to campaign for his fellow MAGA lackey in New Jersey.
In response, one Peekskill voter took Lawler to task in the Yonkers Times, slamming him for boasting support of a tax scam that will leave millions of Americans – including many of Lawler’s own constituents – without health care and supporting “his party leadership’s refusal to enter bi-partisan negotiations” to reopen the government and stop the health care crisis they’ve created.
DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Mike Lawler’s constituents see right through his lies. While Lawler is off picking fake fights on Capitol Hill and fleeing the state for political photo ops, New Yorkers are feeling the real impacts of his decision to rip away their health care – and they’ll remember his betrayal at the ballot box next year.”

Yonkers Times: Letters to the Editor
- After reading the recent newsletter from Representative Mike Lawler, I feel compelled to point out that the budget bill he is so proud to have supported will end Affordable Care Act subsidies and cause millions of Americans (many of them Lawler’s own constituents) to lose their health insurance coverage. The bill also does next to nothing to fight the skyrocketing premiums the rest of us are paying.
- Mr. Lawler claims to be a moderate Republican, but he supports his party leadership’s refusal to enter bi-partisan negotiations on the bill to keep the Federal government open. Democrats are demanding that the bill restore funding to the Affordable Care Act, a position favored by large majorities of U.S. citizens.
- Mr. Lawler’s has also failed to speak out about lies that some of his fellow Republicans are telling about the ACA giving “illegal aliens” free health insurance coverage. The allegation is false, and Rep. Lawler knows it.
- I wish Mike Lawler would stop trying to have it both ways. He should move away from MAGA and be the “moderate” he claims to be.
