Congressman Mike Lawler, who represents New York’s 17th Congressional District, shared a series of posts on his official Twitter account in early April 2026 highlighting community events and observances.
On April 2, 2026, Lawler posted about his team’s participation at Rockland County YouthFest. He wrote, “Team Lawler had a great time at Rockland County YouthFest, an annual event that has been bringing families together for over 25 years! The event welcomed families from across the county for a fun-filled day of activities, entertainment, and hands-on experiences for kids of all”.
Later that same day, Lawler marked World Autism Awareness Day with a message on inclusion and understanding. He stated on April 2, “Today is World Autism Awareness Day—a time to reflect on the importance of awareness and inclusion. By coming together with understanding and respect, we can help build stronger, more connected communities for everyone.”
On April 3, 2026—Good Friday—Lawler posted a reflection about the holiday’s significance. His tweet read: “On this Good Friday, we reflect on sacrifice, love, and redemption. It is a solemn reminder of the strength found in faith and the hope that follows even the darkest moments. May this day bring peace, reflection, and renewed gratitude to all.”
Rockland County YouthFest is an annual event known for its focus on family-friendly activities and community engagement. World Autism Awareness Day is observed globally each year on April 2 to promote greater understanding about autism spectrum disorder.
