Calling for the repeal or overhaul of New York’s CLCPA, a costly, unrealistic mandate that is eliminating reliable energy sources, spiking utility rates, and threatening grid reliability.
Seek repeal or overhaul of New York's CLCPA.
Occurrences
Evidence
The campaign issues page says Lawler is 'Calling for the repeal or overhaul of New York’s CLCPA,' describing it as a costly, unrealistic mandate.
In his Feb. 5, 2026 op-ed on his House website, Lawler wrote: 'As a member of the state Assembly, I advocated to repeal the CLCPA' and criticized the law as unrealistic and costly.
The House office reposted a news item dated April 2, 2026 saying the lawmakers led by Rep. Mike Lawler wrote to Gov. Hochul, 'Given these significant cost burdens, we strongly urge that the CLCPA ... be repealed.'
Assessments
The promise was framed as seeking repeal or overhaul of New York's CLCPA, not necessarily securing enactment of a repeal or overhaul. The evidence shows Lawler publicly continued advocating against the CLCPA and joined a formal April 2, 2026 letter urging Governor Hochul to repeal it. That is a concrete action matching the promised conduct, even though the CLCPA itself was not shown to have been repealed or overhauled.
