“I want to thank Jaxson Dart. This is going to be a Hall of Famer in my book. Thank you, thank you Jaxson. You have a lot of talent.”
Trump then turned his attention to New York and the stakes surrounding Lawler’s competitive House district.
“We gotta straighten this place out,” Trump told the crowd. “But I’m thrilled to be back into this incredible state with the proud hardworking patriots of Rockland County.”

Rockland County is part of Lawler’s swing district, the 17th Congressional District, which went blue for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election despite electing a Republican congressman.
According to new analysis from the National Journal House Power Rankings, Lawler’s seat ranks as the “6th most vulnerable” Republican-held district in the House ahead of the midterms. Political strategists view the district as a potential deciding factor in the battle for House control.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
