LoHud: “Mondaire Jones outraises U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler by 2-to-1 in first quarter of 2024”

Jones has outraised Lawler every fundraising quarter since launching his campaign last July

Vulnerable New York Republican Mike Lawler is once again having issues keeping up with his Democratic opponent, as DCCC Red to Blue candidate Mondaire Jones more than doubled Lawler's fundraising numbers in the first quarter of 2024.

More from LoHud:

"In the race for the 17th Congressional District, former Rep. Mondaire Jones showed his fundraising prowess in the first quarter of 2024, raising twice as much as Rep. Mike Lawler, and ending the quarter with $93,000 more in his campaign coffers [as] the campaign heats up…

"'While Mike Lawler was getting caught defunding law enforcement and blocking a bipartisan border security bill, our grassroots campaign was raising nearly $4 million thus far this cycle because of the incredible support from everyday people across the Lower Hudson Valley,' Jones said. 'And unlike my oil and gas lobbyist opponent, I don't take corporate PAC money.'"

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
"Mike Lawler is once again coming up short against Mondaire Jones' strong grassroots momentum. Despite Lawler's best efforts to close the gap with a slew of limelight-loving TV appearances and right-wing posturing, Jones continues to be in prime position to flip New York's 17th Congressional District blue."
