Lawler Hosts Record-Breaking Tele-Town Hall, Reaffirms Town Hall Committment

Pearl River - 3/22/2025… Today, Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17) acknowledged the success of his tele-town hall this week, which attracted over 4,000 participants from New York’s 17th Congressional District, with hundreds of questions submitted by constituents. The event, lasting over an hour, allowed Lawler to directly address Hudson Valley residents’ concerns on critical issues like government funding, economic stability, and local priorities.

“I’m deeply grateful for the incredible turnout and the engagement of over 4,000 attendees who asked hundreds of questions,” Congressman Lawler stated. “I’ve never shied away from tough questions, and I never will. During my first term, I attended over 1,200 events, hosted more than 50 town halls and mobile office hours, spending hundreds of hours answering constituents. That’s the kind of accessibility the Hudson Valley deserves.”  

Lawler also re-announced his commitment to another four in-person town halls, one in each county of his district. Dates and times will be shared 1-2 weeks prior to each event, ensuring constituents have ample notice to participate. This follows his March 11 announcement of the 2025 town hall schedule, as detailed on his website.  

Rockland - April 

Westchester - May 

Putnam - June

Dutchess - June

“These town halls are a vital opportunity to connect face-to-face, and I’m eager to continue these conversations in person,” concluded Congressman Lawler.

Congressman Lawler is one of the most bipartisan members of Congress and represents New York's 17th Congressional District, which is just north of New York City and contains all or parts of Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester Counties.
