New Yorkers Deliver Petition Signed by Hundreds of Rep. Mike Lawler’s Constituents, Demanding He Support the Health Care Discharge Petition

“Rep. Lawler said he believes an extension is important, yet he’s standing in the way of the only viable path to one.” -Tracey, Pearl River. Today, a group of Congressman Mike Lawler’s constituents gathered outside his district office in Mahopac to call attention to the expiring health care tax credits that are set to raise insurance premiums for thousands of families across the Hudson Valley. Led by Tracey, a disabled cancer survivor from Pearl River, they delivered a petition signed by hundreds of constituents calling on Rep. Lawler to join the House discharge petition to extend the expiring credits. With 214 names, the discharge petition is currently just four signatures shy of forcing a vote on a 3-year extension. Even though Rep. Lawler has claimed he wants to tackle health care affordability and has supported other extension plans, he has refused to support the only proposal with a chance of succeeding.
