Congressman Mike Lawler, representing New York's 17th district since 2023, has been vocal on various issues through his social media presence. Lawler succeeded Mondaire Jones and previously served in the New York State Assembly from 2021 to 2022. He was born in Suffern, New York, and currently resides in Pearl River.
On December 9, 2024, Congressman Lawler addressed concerns regarding foreign influence in the financial sector. "CCP infiltration of our financial sector is real and is disturbing. We must take robust action to combat this threat. I'm going to keep working with my colleagues on the @FinancialCmte to do exactly that."
Later that day, he commented on Alvin Bragg's performance in office. "Alvin Bragg has let partisan politics seep into every aspect of his job and it has to stop. Do you believe he should be fired? Respond to my survey to let me know." In a subsequent post, he provided a link for constituents to participate in the survey: "Link to survey: https://t.co/fpyUGQF347"
