...we applaud Lawler for his efforts to highlight the issue....

“When I came to Congress, the very first bill I introduced was the SALT Marriage Penalty Elimination Act to provide immediate tax relief to hard working middle class families throughout the Hudson Valley. Over the last 13 months, I fought tirelessly, including with members of my own party, to get a bill to the floor to receive fair consideration and an up or down vote,” said Congressman Lawler.

“Rather than join me in bipartisan cooperation to deliver for all New Yorkers Hakeem Jeffries, and House Democrats from across New York chose to play politics and stop SALT relief dead in its tracks, while Governor Hochul and Senators Schumer and Gillibrand remained silent. They put partisan politics ahead of what is best for the people they represent and it’s shameful.”

“While I am disappointed in the result, I remain undeterred. Along with my New York Republican colleagues, I will continue to fight for SALT tax relief and work towards a bipartisan legislative fix,” concluded Congressman Lawler.
