READ: Lawler’s Shutdown Pushes New Yorkers to The Brink, Leaving NY Families Without Food or Health Care

Lawler refuses to come to work and negotiate a deal to lower New Yorkers’ health care costs and restore critical food assistance

As the Republican shutdown enters its fifth week, New Yorkers are facing a grim reality.

From health care premiums skyrocketing by double and triple digits to critical food assistance being held hostage and thousands of federal workers continuing to go without pay, hardworking New York families are being forced to make impossible choices — and it’s all courtesy of Mike Lawler and House Republicans.

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Mike Lawler’s shutdown has become a full blown crisis for New York families. As New Yorkers face unaffordable health care and empty grocery carts, Lawler is on vacation playing politics with people’s lives. Hudson Valley voters won’t forget his betrayal come election time.”
