GOP Rep. Mike Lawler announced on Wednesday that he will seek reelection in the House in a win for President Donald Trump.
GOP Rep. Mike Lawler announced on Wednesday that he will seek reelection in the House in a win for President Donald Trump. “After months of deliberating over this and really working through it, I’ve decided the right thing to do for me and my family and my district is to run for reelection,” the New York Republican said on Fox News. “My seat was determinative of control of the House back in 2022 and again in 2024,” he added. Lawler had been weighing a challenge to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and criticized the Democratic politician on Wednesday, calling her “the worst governor in America” and saying she needs to be defeated in 2026. His decision is a win for Trump who had made it clear that he would prefer for the two-term congressman to remain in the narrowly divided House rather than risk losing a GOP seat. “Keeping the House majority is critical if we’re going to continue to move this economy in the right direction. I’m proud to have delivered on my key promise, which was to lift the cap on SALT in the one big, beautiful bill. That is a big win for New York. It’s the single largest tax cut in the whole bill. And I’m proud to run for reelection on my record and win next November and keep the House Republican majority,” Lawler said on Fox News.
