Lawler has a better chance at winning reelection to the House than winning a general election for governor, but not by much IMO and the difference between the two offices makes it a no brainer. His problem is the primary, Stefanik would be the odds on favorite in a heads up race.

If Lawler win reelection to the house and sticks around for another year or so he becomes eligible for the congressional retirement fund. That would be one reason to stick around.
Any ideas as to who a strong Lawler opponent might be? The latest entrant (John Sullivan) seems interesting, but he only recently moved to the district after resigning from the FBI. I was hoping for a strong local elected official to run.

Or he could be Governor of New York. I kind of feel like those people aren't too worried about their retirement fund.
Yeah that retirement after 5 years is only like $10k a year once he turns 62.
