Congressman Mike Lawler, representing New York's 17th district since 2023, has been active on social media discussing issues relevant to his constituents. His recent tweets cover topics from congestion pricing in New York to labor rights.
On November 20, 2024, Lawler expressed concerns about Governor Kathy Hochul's approach to congestion pricing. He stated: "Kathy Hochul is moving full steam ahead with congestion pricing with brazen disregard for New Yorkers. Should it be stopped? Let me know by responding to my survey." This tweet indicates his opposition and invites public opinion through a survey.
In a subsequent post on the same day, he provided access to the survey: "Link to survey: https://t.co/TzSFBm9zxz". This highlights his effort to engage with the public on policy decisions affecting them.
Later that day, Lawler tweeted about a meeting with Teamsters President Sean O’Brien: "A productive meeting with @Teamsters President Sean O’Brien on the Hill today. I’m going to continue partnering with labor in the 119th Congress to protect the rights of workers and ensure all Americans have safe working conditions." This reflects his commitment to labor issues and collaboration with union leaders.
