Rep. Lawler released the following statement after news broke regarding false claims made by the YIT Foundation.

“The false claims made by YIT Foundation Executive Director Sharon Toney-Finch are truly appalling," said Rep. Lawler. "Her decision to exploit our veterans - and the genuine admiration and love our community has for them - could have turned an already tense situation into something much worse."

"I am glad the truth was uncovered and trust those responsible will be held accountable after a full investigation by the proper authorities," concluded Rep. Lawler.

New York's 17th Congressional District is just north of New York City and contains all or parts of Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester Counties.
