"What an absolute ass-kicking!" Lawler gleefully told a roomful of supporters at the Paramount Country Club in New City, NY. "Tonight the Hudson Valley told Mondaire Jones to 'Beat It!'" He emphasized the significance of the victory with a playful reference to Michael Jackson's song, showcasing the intense emotions surrounding the closely watched race.
Lawler lambasted Jones as a carpetbagger due to the redistricting reshaping the district's boundaries. He criticized Jones' previous failed bid for a different seat in 2022, emphasizing the narrative of local vs. outsider during his campaign.
Lawler vowed to fight to lower taxes and maintain former President Trump-era tax cuts, highlighting his alignment with the conservative base in his district. He expressed confidence in being a representative that resonates with the local needs and sentiments.
Voter Maureen Henry, reflecting on the campaign, expressed concern over Lawler's negative approach, particularly the accusation that Jones sought to defund the police. She described it as a deceptive tactic meant to stoke racial tensions.
