LEADER MCCARTHY ENDORSES LAWLER IN NY-17 PRIMARY. Joins New York Republican and Conservative Parties in  Endorsing Lawler for Congress.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Pearl River, NY, August 11, 2022… Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA 23rd District) has endorsed Hudson Valley Assemblyman Mike Lawler in his race for Congress in New York’s 17th District, it was today announced. The 17th district includes all or parts of Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties.  RealClearPolitics rates NY-17 as a “Toss-Up” in November’s General Election.  “Assemblyman Mike Lawler is a smart, energetic leader who works day and night to make New York safer and more affordable for his constituents,” Rep. McCarthy said. “His common sense vision and unparalleled work ethic will make him an instant force for good in Washington. Mike Lawler has not only earned my personal support in this race, he’s been designated as ‘On the Radar’ by the National Republican Congressional Committee’s (NRCC) ‘Young Guns’ program. Make no mistake about it: Mike Lawler will win in November and help us take back the majority.”  “I’m enormously grateful to Leader McCarthy and the NRCC for their strong support in this critically important race,” Mr. Lawler said. “Hudson Valley families are struggling with the 9.1% inflation that incumbent Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney and Speaker Nancy Pelosi have foolishly caused — a 40-year high — and with a growing crime rate thanks to New York’s disastrous no-cash-bail law, which Mr. Maloney championed. New Yorkers are already the highest taxed Americans; they literally can’t afford another two years of Mr. Maloney and Mrs. Pelosi. They need relief, and I’ll do everything in my power in Washington to deliver it for them.”  Mike Lawler currently serves in the New York State Assembly, representing portions of Rockland County (97th AD) and is the endorsed Republican and Conservative Party candidate for Congress in New York’s 17th Congressional District. The 17th Congressional District includes all or portions of Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties.
