The town hall in Somers, a leafy section of Lawler’s Hudson Valley district, began to teeter off the rails soon after it began.
The first crack emerged when Lawler, in his opening remarks, told the packed prep school auditorium: “This is what democracy looks like.”
Laughter crept through the crowd.
A little while later, the congressman’s mention of federal health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. drew loud jeers.
It’s too early for a challenger. Midterms aren’t for another 18 months. NY D-17 is a coveted swing district in the Hudson Valley, about an hour north of NYC. Mondaire Jones lost to Mike Lawler last November.
Never too early.
Alright, well, let us know when there’s a candidate that is challenging this guy. Until then, this isn’t very newsworthy at this point.
It’s not my post, but I think it’s important to see people in swing districts pushing Republicans to the point of getting ejected. It’s good to morale, especially with all of the political pessimism.
Belongs in a feel-good vibes community and not a news one now. This storyline is old and these reps clearly haven’t changed their minds around holding the administration accountable.
It looks like this was just this past Sunday. In yet another part of the country. Report to the mods if it doesn’t fit your personal description of newsworthy but it is current, relevant, and distinct from similar stories in other districts.
