NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer Statement on the NY-17 Election

WASHINGTON — NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer released the following statement regarding the results of the NY-17 election:

“Congratulations to Mike Lawler on his historic victory. Mike is the first candidate to defeat a DCCC Chair since 1980 because he kept the Hudson Valley at the center of his campaign. The voters of Putnam, Westchester, and Rockland resoundingly rejected Sean Patrick Maloney’s pro-criminal policies. I look forward to working with Mike to lower costs and protect our communities.”
