Pearl River, N.Y. - 4/15/2025… Today, Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17) released the following statement to reflect on his first 100 days in office during the 119th Congress, highlighting key legislative successes, community engagement, and ongoing work to deliver results for the people of the Hudson Valley.

In his first 100 days, Congressman Lawler introduced 21 pieces of legislation and cosponsored 232 bills. Some of his most significant legislative achievements include the Laken Riley Act, which was signed into law, and the Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act and Remote Access Security Act, which passed through the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) with unanimous support. Additionally, he was appointed Vice Chair of Communications for the Financial Services Committee and Chairman of the Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee of HFAC, chairing his first full HFAC hearing on the return to ‘Maximum Pressure’ on Iran.

Congressman Lawler’s efforts extend beyond legislative work. He played a pivotal role in working with the White House to fight to end congestion pricing in New York City and is actively leading efforts to lift the SALT Cap, directly involved in the House negotiations on the tax bill.

In addition to his legislative work, Congressman Lawler has been active in the community, making dozens of visits to events throughout the district. He also hosted a record-breaking teletown hall where over 4,000 participants joined in live to ask hundreds of questions. He has also helped close over 800 constituent cases, bringing $2.5 million back to constituents in the district. He also announced four in-person, countywide town halls, which will bring him to a total of 12 through his first two and a half years in Congress.

“I’m proud of the progress we’ve made in these first 100 days,” said Congressman Lawler. “From introducing key legislation to advancing bills through committee, I am delivering on my commitments to the people of NY-17.”

“I won’t stop fighting for the Hudson Valley, and I look forward to more bipartisan wins for my constituents in the coming weeks and months,” concluded 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. He was rated the most effective freshman lawmaker in the 118th Congress, 8th overall, surpassing dozens of committee chairs.
