To the Editor: A few months ago I announced plans to mentor young people who are in their 20s and 30s who want to become future leaders of our town. We meet monthly by Zoom. The mentoring program is open to Democrats, Republicans–anyone who wants to learn how ... More »
Every Mike Lawler Town Hall is fraudulent and an insult to his constituents. I pay his salary, he is my public servant. And as my servant I expect respect, but all I get at his Town Halls is insult and disrespect. I always thought that a Town Hall was intend... More »
To: The Editor, The Hudson Independent: I recently wrote to our Member of Congress, Mike Lawler, in opposition to the so-called Save America Act, a blatant attempt to disenfranchise whole groups of voters by requiring a birth certificate or passport in order t... More »
Representative Lawler’s record tells a simple story: his support for war, higher taxes, costly energy, and rising insurance rates is driving prices up, increasing the national debt, and pushing us toward recession. You can’t claim to be a champion of affordabi... More »

As a longtime resident of Sleepy Hollow, I have followed the progress of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (VRA) lawsuit against the Town of Mt. Pleasant. Now that the parties have reached a settlement, I would like to suggest possible implicati... More »
In a time when many people feel dismay at what is happening in government, here in NY we have an amazing opportunity to pass groundbreaking legislation this year. The Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act (S1464 – Harckham / A1749 – Glick) will ... More »
The following is an open letter to the community based on a series of messages sent to Tarrytown Mayor Karen Brown and members of the Board of Trustees: March 2, 2026: Dear Mayor Brown: The Broadway bridge’s sidewalk is still covered in snow today, as is 386 S... More »
We all know that there is a big affordable housing shortage in Westchester. Many volunteer fire departments and volunteer ambulance corps are facing difficult times attracting and keeping their volunteers. I recently read some stories about communities in Co... More »
Congressman Mike Lawler’s sponsorship of the SAVE Act embraces a discriminatory “solution” to a problem that doesn’t exist. It threatens to silence millions of eligible American voters. The bill would force every voter, even those registered for decades, to sh... More »
Ardsley has long been a place where families come to build stable, meaningful lives—drawn by strong schools and safe neighborhoods. As a parent, a resident, and someone involved in local government, I believe there is a clear next step in that tradition: makin... More »
Watching the performance of U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, before the House Oversight Committee, (Feb 11, 2026) I was struck by how much she inadvertently revealed. When asked about the lack of investigation into co-conspirators named in the Epstein files,... More »
When you come from another country to a new country, you are nobody. You don’t know anyone. You have no friends, no connections, no relatives, no family — nothing. Nothing. Just imagine how hard it is to leave your country, your family, your childhood friends,... More »

Representative Mike Lawler clearly thinks that getting an Op Ed in the New York Times (“G.O.P. Congressmen: We Need to Wake Up After Minneapolis,” Jan. 27, 2026) is a feather in his political bonnet. Up until this week, no gap has appeared between him and his ... More »
To Rep. Mike Lawler – I see you finally ‘WOKE UP’ to the horrors of the violence caused by the ICE and CBP agents being sent into our cities, to not only terrorize immigrants, but US citizens alike. I take issue with many of the things you said in your Op-Ed t... More »
