Republicans blatantly touting Donald Trump's support of Mike Lawler...and Mike Lawler's support of Donald Trump.
Which is no surprise when you consider that Lawler has voted with Trump 100% of the time.
They are one and the same, folks.
It was so refreshing to watch Cait Conley expose Mike Lawler on his support of data centers.
He can try to deflect all he wants.
But all you have to do is follow the money:
The money Lawler gave to Big Tech and money Big Tech gives Lawler in return.
NY-17 DEBATE: WHERE THEY STAND
@CaitforNewYork and @lawler4ny faced off in the News 12 Hudson Valley debate on affordability, healthcare, immigration, AI and their records.
Cait has been to war zones 6 times over the course of 16 years.
So when she says she’s going to bring the fight for women’s health, abortion rights and Planned Parenthood, you can take it to the bank.
NYTimes covering the #NY17 debate
Conley didn’t need to “portray” this bc it’s truly what Lawler is. Trump came to stump for him just last month . . .
He was, as expected, truly awful in the #NY17 “debate”
Another great Cait moment, exposing Mike Lawler’s hypocrisy for palling around with Donald Trump across the country - including right here at a rally in #NY17 this summer - while pretending to stand up to him.
What a phony.
‘I do not need to have my service attacked by a guy who never left the comfort of his couch after 9/11.’
🔥 🔥 🔥
Probably my favorite Cait line in the #NY17 debate tonight.
So proud of Cait.
She crushed it tonight, holding Mike Lawler to account for his lies and his record.
She’s the fighter we need to take back #NY17 and to help take back the House.
Onward!
I can’t tell you how satisfying and cathartic it was to watch Cait Conley call Mike Lawler a liar to his face several times over tonight.
FACT CHECK: Mike Lawler voted to cut Medicaid for more than 28k #NY17 residents.

btw #NY17 debate happening rn (lol didn't even realize until 5min ago)
Mike Lawler dismisses the fact that he's voted to cut your healthcare, protect Trump's tariffs, and allow Trump's war in Iran to continue. #NY17
"There's over 1,000 votes."
This is your reminder that Mike Lawler:
- Voted for Trump's tariffs 8 times
- Voted for Trump's war with Iran 6 times
- Was the deciding vote on Trump's “Big Ugly Bill”
He's loyal to Donald Trump, not the hard-working people of #NY17.
Mike Lawler may pretend to be a moderate, but he voted with Donald Trump 100% of the time in 2025.
He's a rubber stamp for Trump — and would keep wreaking havoc on #NY17 residents if re-elected. americanjournalnews.com/is-mike-lawl...
WATCH: Mike Lawler gets called out for voting in favor of Trump's reckless war with Iran SIX times. #NY17
Mike Lawler refuses to say that Trump has made a mistake with tariffs and praises them. #NY17
"I said from the very beginning tariffs as a tool to force fair trade is critical."
In Congress, Mike Lawler has spent his career voting against working families in #NY17, while @caitfornewyork.bsky.social has built a career on service, courage, and putting others before herself. That’s exactly the kind of bold leadership Hudson Valley families need in Congress.
Mike Lawler is touting that he "fulfilled" his promise on SALT, with the cap being $40k. He promised $100k. #NY17
