Thanking attendees in his post, he noted the importance of discussions focused on improving services for veterans at both the state and federal levels: "Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to the discussion on how we can better serve our veterans."

Additionally, on April 21, Lawler announced the introduction of the Youth Lead Act, a bipartisan initiative he is championing alongside colleagues. In his tweet, he elaborated on the act's objective to empower the Secretary of Agriculture to issue grants supporting organizations like Future Farmers of America (FFA), 4-H, and the Scouts: "These youth leadership organizations have" long been instrumental in fostering leadership skills among young Americans.

Lawler, a Manhattan College graduate, was born in Suffern, New York, and is actively engaged in legislative efforts that support youth and veterans, alongside celebrating community moments like Easter.
