Mike Lawler
New York’s 17th (NY - 17)
Updated: July 30, 2026
Overview
Mike Lawler is the worst type of DC politician: self-serving, corrupt, and only looking out for himself. He always votes in the interest of Trump, his party bosses and special interests in DC, even when it hurts Hudson Valley families.
Summary
Voters need to see ads on broadcast, cable, streaming, and digital across the New York media market that Mike Lawler puts special interests over the Hudson Valley:
- Lawler is a former utility company lobbyist who has taken tens of thousands from the utility industry, then voted to hike our utility costs while Hudson Valley families have seen their rates increase by over 60%.
- Lawler took $460,000 from Big Pharma and insurance companies, while letting them raise New Yorkers’ monthly premiums by as much as 50% and jack up the cost of prescription drugs.
Voters need to see ads on broadcast, cable, streaming, and digital across the New York media market that Mike Lawler’s unwavering loyalty to Trump has raised our costs and made our lives harder:
- Lawler has voted with Trump 100% of the time. He voted eight times for Trump’s tariffs that raise our costs by $4,200, shrugging it off as “a little bit of short-term pain.”
- Lawler voted five times to continue the war in Iran even though it’s cost taxpayers $150 billion and sent gas prices skyrocketing, calling it a “righteous decision”
Additional Resources

- Voters should hear about Lawler’s loyalty to Trump from former Lawler voters, including men over 50, and voters from Rockland County.
