Mike Lawler U.S. House of Representatives from New York's 17th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
Congressman Mike Lawler, representing New York’s 17th district since 2023, recently made several statements on social media regarding significant political issues. Lawler, who succeeded Mondaire Jones in Congress and previously served in the New York State Assembly, shared his views on Medicaid spending, tax legislation, and a critique of a public official.
On December 11, 2024, Congressman Lawler posted about his initiative concerning Medicaid spending: "I led a letter urging House leadership to prohibit federal Medicaid spending on payments in support of changes to the CDPAP. Governor Hochul's shady CDPAP deal demands a careful review to ensure vulnerable beneficiaries are protected, and Medicaid dollars are not wasted."
Later that day, at 15:37 UTC, Lawler expressed intentions regarding tax reforms for the upcoming year: "We will get a tax bill for the American people next year that ensures they can afford to live where they are. That includes lifting the cap on SALT. We’re going to get it done."
In another post from December 11, 2024, at 17:36 UTC, Congressman Lawler criticized Alvin Bragg's performance as a public official: "Alvin Bragg is a failure and has abused his office. Read my op-ed in the New York Post on why he's got to go."
