“Mike Lawler will tell you a lot of very untrue things, like that he’s a moderate, that he’s not going to support an abortion ban, and that he’s the right fit to represent New Yorkers,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Monica Venzke. “Those are all lies. Try as he might to hide it now that he’s running for reelection, Mike Lawler can’t run from his record. And we have all the receipts.”
