Mike Lawler is a classic political slimeball who possesses ZERO morality. To call Lawler a Trump sycophant would be an understatement. With ZERO fucks given about what is best for New Yorkers, Lawler has voted for the pedophile psychopath's agenda 100% of the time. Here's hoping New Yorkers vote appropriately and Cait Conley kicks his ass in the midterm election.

Mike Lawler loves to talk about SALT, but what he conveniently leaves out is that Trump created the SALT deduction cap in 2017 to punish NY. It was set to expire ENTIRELY at the end of 2025, but Mike voted to make it a permanent tax on working families to fund tax breaks for billionaires. That’s the difference between Mike and me — he pretends he’s looking out for working families, while I’ll actually fight to lower taxes for the middle class and repeal the cap permanently.

Republican Rep. Mike Lawler says it's time to "move on" from Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes against children, claiming Epstein is “dead and buried.” Lawler has already attempted to push a bill that would jail Americans for up to 20 years and fine them $1 million—simply for opposing Israel through international boycotts.
