Hundreds of New Yorkers Rally Against Mike Lawler’s Vote To Slash Medicaid As He Hides From Constituents
NEW YORK – Hundreds of New Yorkers protested Mike Lawler in Mount Kisco on Saturday after he voted last week for hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid.
While Lawler remains a mainstay on national television and has hosted multiple press conferences outside of his district, he has refused to host a town hall for his constituents this year. House GOP leadership is advising Republicans to avoid appearing before their own constituents, and Lawler is cowardly following orders and refusing to meet with the New Yorkers he represents.
News12: Protesters in Mount Kisco worry GOP-led budget cuts will impact Medicaid

Hundreds of people from across the Hudson Valley joined forces at a rally in Mount Kisco on Saturday to tell Rep. Mike Lawler to "keep his hands off of Medicaid."
The rally took place at Kirby Plaza. Several protesters told News 12 that they feel that Medicaid is under attack.
"Start thinking humanely," one woman said.
"I think we need to fight to keep it," one protester said.
"People with disabilities [or] children – they’re very vulnerable," another woman said.
House Republicans sent a GOP budget blueprint to passage Tuesday, a step toward delivering President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” with $4.5 trillion in tax breaks and $2 trillion in spending cuts despite a wall of opposition from Democrats and discomfort among Republicans.
