I call him weekly... at least.
He hopes to be gov.... good luck with that.

Rep. Mike Lawler bragged about obtaining $32 million in federally funded projects for his suburban Westchester County-based district in the days before last November’s election.

But after he won an impressive reelection victory for a second two-year term, Lawler voted for a Republican spending bill that left out the grants for those community projects.

Now the grants — from $4.5 million for the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office to $2.25 million to fix water tanks in Pleasantville — are in legislative limbo, with no way of knowing when or if they will ever win approval.

Rockland County legislator Beth Davidson, a Democrat who is running to unseat Lawler in 2026, said communities in her district were shocked to find out the rug was pulled out from under them for important local priorities.
