Pearl River, NY – 8/23/2024… Today, the Lawler for Congress campaign released the following statement after agreeing, in principle, to four debates for the 2024 campaign cycle. The four debates include 3 televised debates, hosted by News12, CBS2, and Pix11, which represent three more televised debates than the 2022 cycle, when former Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney’s campaign agreed to none. The fourth and final debate the Congressman will participate in is with the New City Jewish Center on October 27th.

“Today, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve agreed, in principle, to four debates for the 2024 campaign cycle,” said Lawler for Congress spokesman Chris Russell. “With four debates in total, three of them televised, Congressman Lawler will have ample opportunity to highlight his common-sense, bipartisan record and contrast it with Mondaire Jones’ radical, extreme one.”

“We call on Mondaire Jones to immediately accept all four of these debates,” continued Russell. “Voters deserve to hear from the candidates, and three televised debates will allow them to hear from both.”

“While Congressman Lawler was ranked the fourth-most bipartisan member of the 118th Congress, Mondaire Jones ranked 381st during his time in office – alongside the most radical members of 117th Congress,” concluded Russell. “It’s clear who the mainstream candidate is in the race for the 17th District, and it’s not Mondaire Jones – we look forward to reminding voters of that simple truth.”
