A group of more than two dozen famed askanim from the Monsey area have come together to endorse Mike Lawler as he challenges Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney for the NY-17 seat in the House of Representatives. In a joint letter, the askanim note that they are often in contact with elected officials and that Lawler has set himself apart as one who “has proven himself a dedicated and committed representative of our community,” adding that he “provides anyone with his personal phone number and responds to calls 24 hours a day.” “The assemblyman has offered assistance throughout many government agencies and beyond, including DMV, Department of Transportation, Health Department, School Districts, utility companies, even securing a release from a Brooklyn hospital for a baby who had to be transferred to Philadelphia, as well as getting kosher food into hospitals and prisons, and so much more,” the endorsement reads. “Most recently, Mike publicly and strongly defended our mosdos hachinuch against vicious attacks by some in the media, and wholeheartedly condemned the gezeiras hachinuch in the strongest terms,” it adds. “We therefore urge all Rockland County residents to go out and vote for Mike Lawler,” the letter concludes, urging everyone to “make a tremendous kiddush hashem” by voting for Mike Lawler for Congress.
