REPORT: Mike Lawler’s Support for Iran War Has Cost New Yorkers $450 More on Gas and Energy

New York families have shelled out $450 more per-household in energy expenses thanks to vulnerable Republican Mike Lawler’s support for Trump’s war of choice in Iran.

According to Moody’s Analytics, Republicans’ reckless war has “cumulatively cost American consumers nearly $60 billion as gas prices and airline fares have surged” and, “if prices stay at current levels, the average household could take a hit of almost $2,000 at the one-year mark of the war.”

REMINDER: Lawler has endorsed Trump’s reckless cost-raising war every chance he gets, claiming rising costs from the war are “absolutely worth it,” arguing it was a “righteous decision” and standing by as Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary dismissed the pain Hudson Valley families are feeling at the pump as a “blip.”

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“While hardworking New Yorkers struggle to keep up with rising prices, Mike Lawler keeps rubber-stamping Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran — proving once again he’ll always put Trump first while his constituents pay the price.”
