Brutal story for Mike Lawler in #NY17.
During his 2024 re-election campaign, Lawler told his constituents that he 'secured' $33M in funding for projects.
He lied.
He did not 'secure' anything.
In fact, in the end, he actually voted *against* what he promised.

He told everyone that the money for the district projects were 'secured'.
Not only were they not secured, he ended up voting against them.
