**The following is a statement from NY Assemblyman Mike Lawler**

Dear all,

No one has been more steadfast in the fight to bring the Tappan Zee Bridge name back than Assemblyman Mike Lawler.  

Mike is running for Congress today in New York’s 17th congressional district (Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess) and his race is one of the most watched in the country! 

If you haven’t voted yet, and live in the 17th District, please consider voting for Mike today. Polls are open from 6 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. 

This race is expected to be decided by just a handful of votes, so your vote genuinely matters. It could be the one that puts Mike Lawler over! 

Many thanks and keep up the fight!
