REMINDER: Mike Lawler Is a Rubber Stamp for GOP’s Far-Right Extremist Agenda

Despite highly-vulnerable Republican Mike Lawler’s attempts to deceive New Yorkers, his record since entering Congress proves that the increasingly endangered congressman is merely a rubber stamp for his MAGA colleagues to put New Yorkers’ jobs, safety, health care, reproductive rights, and financial security all at risk.

Since entering Congress, Rep. Lawler has:

  • Voted to restrict abortion rights and further the GOP’s dangerous anti-choice agenda

  • Voted to jeopardize over 142,000 manufacturing jobs in the U.S. and push the economy closer to a recession

  • Voted to take away critical food assistance from up to 900,000 older adults

  • Refused to condemn Donald Trump’s call to defund critical law enforcement agencies

  • Enraged hundreds of NY-17 constituents with his decision to embrace “anti-democracy” radicals

  • Refused to explain why he held onto recently-charged George Santos’ potentially criminal cash

It’s no wonder he’s already secured his place in the top 10 most vulnerable House incumbents in Congress. 

DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre
“Voters in the Hudson Valley have seen repeatedly that Mike Lawler will put New Yorkers at risk just to please his extremist party bosses. No amount of fake moderation will hide Lawler’s clear embrace of the GOP’s dangerous extremism.”
