Lawler credited State and Local Tax Deductions changes for delivering tax relief to New York residents. He said the SALT cap was quadrupled from $10,000 to $40,000, leading to average refund checks ranging from $5,000 to $20,000. He stated that over 90% of constituents could fully deduct state and local taxes and that the resulting boost helps with everyday expenses, housing costs, health care costs, grocery costs, and gasoline costs. When asked about low approval ratings and how to address economic pain before November midterms, Lawler pointed to rising take-home pay and record stock market highs affecting retirement accounts. He also cited remaining challenges in housing, health care, and energy, and referenced a bipartisan housing bill passed in Washington.
"He said the response to those challenges includes legislative action. He stated that a bipartisan housing bill was passed in Washington that week. He also said they are focused on housing, health care, and energy costs. He framed these priorities as the areas where Americans still feel economic pain when looking at their paychecks and spending needs."
