Rep. Mike Lawler on SALT, Data Centers, and Working Across the Aisle

Rep. Mike Lawler talked with Jim about his family, the 2008 Ponzi scheme that shaped his path, the SALT fight and the 2030 deadline, congestion pricing, data centers in Rockland, and why his best friend in Congress is a Democrat. Lawler represents New York’s 17th District, one of the closest House races in the country.

Listen to the full conversation.
