The issue arose when Rep. LaLota used a photo of Avlon’s family in a post – including his children, though their faces were blurred out. Avlon contends this was “out of bounds.”

The war of words between Republican Rep. Nick LaLota and Democratic candidate John Avlon has heated up after a back and forth on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The issue arose when Rep. LaLota used a photo of Avlon’s family in a post – including his children, though their faces were blurred out. Avlon contends this was “out of bounds.”
The two also exchanged posts over residency issues, as LaLota claims Avlon lives in Manhattan, and Avlon contends LaLota doesn’t live in the district he represents.
Both candidates have agreed to a debate this October on News 12.
