Elise Stefanik Officially Files and Announces Run for New York Governor
By Andrew Harris
On the heels of a historic election in NYC and national that significantly improved the position of Democrats nationwide, NY Congresswoman from the 21st District Elise Stefanik has officially declared her candidacy or NY Governor.
The staunch ally of President Trump made the announcement last night:
“Kathy Hochul is the Worst Governor in America. Under Kathy Hochul’s failed leadership, New York is the most unaffordable state in the nation with the highest taxes, highest energy, utilities, rent, and grocery prices crushing hardworking families. Hochul has created a crime crisis with failed bail reform and her support of Defund the Police candidates. And when New Yorkers were looking for leadership the most, Kathy Hochul bent the knee to the raging Defund the Police Tax Hiking Antisemite Communist who will destroy New York. I am running for Governor to bring a new generation of leadership to Albany to make New York affordable and safe for families all across our great state. Our campaign will unify Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to Fire Kathy Hochul once and for all to Save New York.”
Endorsements for Stefanik were very strong with a 76% wieghted vote among NYS Republican Party Chairs. Cattaraugus County’s Mark Heberling, Allegany County’s Fred Demick,Yates County’s Jack Prendergast, and Steuben County’s Joe Sempolinski all endorsed the Stefanik candidacy. With that strong showing of support Stefanik said:
“I am incredibly grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of support all across New York…..we have the infrastructure and support to mount the most unified campaign for a Republican candidate to defeat Kathy Hochul to save our state.”
State GOP Chair Ed Cox provided a ringing endorsement:
“Elise Stefanik is a unifier and a party builder with the brains, the guts and the resources to win statewide next year. She has fought for our principles every day of her career, and never backs down. She is the warrior we need to lead the fight against Democrats’ corrupt Albany machine.“
Stefanik’s main campaign slogan is “Make NY Affordable Again.”
