Congressman Mike Lawler, representing New York's 17th district, shared a series of tweets on March 5, 2025, addressing various topics ranging from religious observance to legislative initiatives. Lawler has been serving in the U.S. Congress since 2023 after replacing Mondaire Jones and previously served in the New York State Assembly.
On March 5, 2025, Congressman Lawler reflected on Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. He noted that it is "a time for reflection and renewal" and expressed his wishes for those observing to have a "blessed and meaningful Lent." "Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent—a time for reflection and renewal. As we receive the ashes, we are reminded that we are dust, and to dust we shall return."
Later that day, he celebrated Puerto Ricans' American citizenship anniversary. In his tweet, he stated: "This week, I celebrated the 108th Anniversary of Puerto Ricans having American citizenship I am so proud to represent the many Puerto Ricans in NY-17. Thank you for having me, Governor González-Colón!" This highlights his connection with constituents of Puerto Rican descent in his district.
In another tweet on March 5, Congressman Lawler announced the reintroduction of a legislative initiative aimed at supporting families seeking IVF services. He emphasized: "Today, I reintroduced the IVF Access and Affordability Act to expand options for families to ease the financial burden of IVF services." His focus is on making fertility treatments more accessible financially.
