Summary
Congressman Mike Lawler represents the Hudson Valley, just north of New York City. He worked in the NY State Assembly with Zorhan Mamdani — who just received the democratic nomination in NYC’s Mayoral election. Mamdani may be charismatic and promise the moon, but Lawler tells Michele the socialist democrat would be a disaster for New York.
