Congressman Mike Lawler, representing New York's 17th district, has shared his views on several issues through recent social media posts. His statements reflect his stance on local and international matters, ranging from congestion pricing to foreign policy.
On January 23, 2025, Congressman Lawler criticized the congestion pricing policy in a tweet. He stated, "Congestion pricing is a scam that forces hardworking families to fork over cash to the MTA and its horrific mismanagement. With President Trump’s support, I’m confident we’ll get rid of this cash grab."
Later that day, he honored Al Magnatta, a World War II veteran and long-serving member of the Congers Fire Department. In his post dated January 23, 2025, Lawler wrote: "A WWII hero, B-17 gunner, and 79-year veteran of the Congers Fire Department, Al Magnatta has dedicated his life to service. Turning 100 years young on January 29th, he’s still answering the call. Thank you, Al, for inspiring us all."
On January 24, 2025, Congressman Lawler expressed approval of President Trump's decision regarding the Houthis. He tweeted: "The Houthis are a terrorist organization, plain and simple. I'm glad that President Trump reversed the horrible Biden Administration policy of not designating the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization."
