Congressman Mike Lawler, currently representing New York’s 17th district in the U.S. Congress, has been actively communicating through social media about his recent engagements and initiatives. His recent posts focus on national security issues and constituent services.
On May 6, 2025, Congressman Lawler announced that he was chairing a hearing to evaluate the State Department’s Bureau of Counterterrorism. In his post, he emphasized the need for strategy adaptation against threats from entities such as Iran and ISIS-K to ensure American safety. He invited the public to “tune in at 2PM EST” for the session.
Later that day, Lawler addressed concerns over Iran’s oil exports, which amounted to nearly 600 million barrels last year. He highlighted how this revenue supports terror organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. During a hearing held on May 6, he stated his intention to question officials on efforts to disrupt these financial networks behind terrorism and invited people to “tune in live” for further details.
On May 7, Congressman Lawler shared an update about collaborating with Senator Bill Weber during a Senior Advisory Council meeting. This gathering aimed at discussing ways to assist constituents with federal agencies. Lawler encouraged individuals needing assistance to submit inquiries via a link provided in his tweet: “Submit an inquiry now if you need assistance with a federal agency.”
