Lawler sits on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Since his election, Lawler has been a steadfast supporter and champion of a strong US-Israel relationship.

“Israel is the only multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi-racial, and multi-religious democracy in the Middle East. They are a beacon of hope, freedom, and opportunity. Tonight, Congress reaffirmed our support for the state of Israel, their right to exist, and the right of the Jewish people to live peacefully in their native land.” - Congressman Mike Lawler
