Pearl River, N.Y. – 5/12/25… Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17) released the following statement regarding the current House budget reconciliation bill’s failure to adequately lift the cap on the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction.

“As I have said repeatedly, I will not support any bill that does not adequately lift the cap on SALT,” said Congressman Lawler. “This bill, as written, fails to deliver and will not have my support. I look forward to continuing to negotiate with leadership and the administration to provide real tax relief for my constituents.”

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.
