New York State Insider: Election Desk 2022 News: NY-17: Lawler Trounces Maloney at LWV Debate.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Statement on Mike Lawler’s Clear Victory Over Sean Maloney at League of Women Voters Debate.

October 12, 2022.

“Mike Lawler won a major victory in tonight’s debate over Sean Maloney. Mr. Lawler was outstanding despite Mr. Maloney’s constant yet unsuccessful attempts to spread mistruths about Mr. Lawler’s record. Assemblyman Lawler was poised, informative, and passionate about the issues important to Hudson Valley voters — crime, cost of living, record-high taxes — while Mr. Maloney constantly stumbled over the facts. This is a super-tight race heading into Election Day, but this debate was anything but. Mike Lawler dominated tonight, as any objective viewer would agree.” - Bill O’Reilly, Spokesman, Mike Lawler for Congress
