Our government’s use of FISA authorities is of great concern to many Americans, including a number of my constituents. The fact remains that intelligence agencies are still required to obtain a warrant before conducting a search on an American citizen - ensuring due process.

“We've seen a number of people on the terror watch list cross [the borders], and we have to be cognizant of what is going on around us. This is not a time for games.” -Congressman Mike Lawler on the #BidenBorderCrisis

I just sent a letter to Governor Hochul and NYS DOT Commissioner Dominiquez urging immediate action to enhance NYS tree maintenance and management protocols after a constituent tragically lost her life from a downed tree during last week's storm.

Antisemitism is evil and must always be confronted with moral clarity. Colleges that give a platform to this hate should not receive one cent of federal funding - and that’s exactly what my Stop Anti-Semitism on College Campuses Act will ensure.

I stand by Israel and I encourage some of my colleagues who are wavering in their support to stop letting politics or Hamas apologists cloud their judgment.

This week we passed the EXPLORE Act, which will significantly improve access to public lands and contains my bill with Rep. Joe Neguse encouraging investment in our open spaces and parks. We have an obligation to preserve and protect America’s natural beauty for future generations.

There's 90% agreement on the base bill for FISA reform and reauthorization. It's frustrating when we cannot get our act together on the 10% that we disagree with so that we can govern and get the job done.

While I was in Washington, my office joined County Executive Ed Day and Rockland County leaders at a World Parkinson’s Day. Proud to recognize Deputy County Executive Michael Hoblin and former County Legislator Harriet Cornell for their efforts to end Parkinson’s disease!

At yesterday's House Foreign Affairs Committee Majority hearing, I asked USAID Administrator Samantha Power about warnings regarding UNRWA's pro-Hamas activities that were ignored by the Administration.

It was a privilege addressing Yeshiva University students yesterday at the Capitol. We had a constructive dialogue about the importance of the U.S.- Israel relationship, standing with our Jewish communities during these turbulent times, and many other pressing issues.

I was pleased to learn that Prime Minister 岸田文雄 is a Yankees fan and spent some of his most formative years in the great state of New York. We have much in common - including our shared commitment to democracy.

The world is a tinderbox. We must support our allies and secure our border.

Thank you Congressman Mike Lawler. You did a lot more than give us a tour! Thank you for the substantive and serious discussions and your continued support on these critical issues.

Today Agudath Israel joined me in Washington, where I showed them around the Capitol and joined them for a meeting with Speaker Mike Johnson. I proudly stand with them in support of Israel and our Jewish communities in New York and across America.

Let's focus on getting the job done.

I enjoyed speaking with Dave Masterson's class of seniors at Nanuet Senior High School on Monday. I'm looking forward to continuing to meet with students, teachers, and parents across our district as I continue representing them and their families in Washington!

On behalf of 96 million birders in the US, thank you to the House and Congressman Mike Lawler for passing the Migratory Birds of the Americas Conservation Enhancements Act! It reauthorizes & strengthens a critical tool to protect migratory birds. #BringBirdsBack audubon.org/news/us-house-…

China, Russia, and Iran are not our friends. We have a responsibility to defend our allies and stand up to our adversaries.

My office was proud to join residents from across Westchester at a solidarity event for Israel and the hostages still being held by Hamas. Our community is united and will not waver in its determination to see these innocent men, women, and children brought home safely.
