Happy Sunday – we hope you are enjoying your weekend!


Welcome back to Team Elise's weekly newsletter! We send a weekly note to
Elise's supporters to update you on what she's working on in Capitol Hill and
across NY-21!


Here are a few top Team Elise updates and stories we have been tracking for
the past week!


ICYMI: Elise Joins CNN’s ‘The Source’


On Thursday night, Elise joined CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins to
discuss attempts from Far Left Democrats to illegally remove President Donald
Trump from the ballot, the two-tiered system of justice, Joe Biden’s plummeting
in the poll numbers, and much, much more.


“Well, it shows that the Left and the Democrat Party and Joe Biden’s campaign,
they know they're going to lose at the ballot box which is why you’re seeing
lawfare. You’re seeing witch hunt after witch hunt, court case after court
case, going after Joe Biden’s top political opponent which is Donald Trump. And
today was a very bad day for Joe Biden. It was a very bad day in court for the
Left. It was a very bad day for the Colorado bogus court case. It was a very
good day for President Trump, and it was a good day for the Constitution and
the American people. The American people are going to make this decision in
November not radical bureaucrats from the state of Colorado, not radical
judges, or Far Left prosecutors.”

Elise’s Full Interview with Kaitlan Collins.


Elise Slams Far Left NY Democrats for “No-Excuse” Absentee Voting


On Monday, the Albany Supreme Court upheld a law expanding New York’s early
voting program to allow widespread no-excuse balloting by mail. Elise has been
fighting to ensure New Yorkers have legal and valid elections and slammed the
decision immediately upon its release. Elise stated –


“This decision is wrong, and we look forward to appealing on behalf of
hardworking New Yorkers who deserve legal and valid elections.


New York’s State Constitution is incredibly clear and requires a
constitutional amendment to expand absentee voting. Even the Far Left radical
Albany Legislature understands this, which is why in 2021, it submitted an
amendment to allow “no-excuse” absentee voting. The people of New York rejected
that amendment in a landslide at the ballot box.


Now Albany Democrats continue to shamelessly believe they are above the law
and that just because they changed the name from absentee ballot to mail-in
ballot, they don't need to follow the Constitution.


We strongly disagree with the court’s decision and believe our position will
be upheld on appeal.”


Elise and House Republican Leadership Release Statement Condemning the
Biden/Schumer Border Bill


On Tuesday, Elise joined Speaker Mike Johnson, Leader Steve Scalise, and Whip
Tom Emmer in a statement condemning Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer’s out-of-touch
border bill. Joe Biden took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days to
create the Biden Border Crisis. He has done NOTHING to stop this crisis. House
GOP Leadership stated –


“House Republicans oppose the Senate immigration bill because it fails in
every policy area needed to secure our border and would actually incentivize
more illegal immigration.


“Among its many flaws, the bill expands work authorizations for illegal aliens
while failing to include critical asylum reforms. Even worse, its language
allowing illegals to be ‘released from physical custody’ would effectively
endorse the Biden ‘catch and release’ policy.


“The so-called ‘shutdown’ authority in the bill is anything but, riddled with
loopholes that grant far too much discretionary authority to Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas – who has proven he will exploit every measure possible, in
defiance of the law, to keep the border open.


“The bill also fails to adequately stop the President’s abuse of parole
authority and provides for taxpayer funds to fly and house illegal immigrants
in hotels through the FEMA Shelter and Services Program.


“Because President Biden has refused to utilize his broad executive authority
to end the border catastrophe that he has created, the House led nine months
ago with the passage of the Secure the Border Act (H.R. 2). That bill contains
the necessary components to actually stem the flow of illegals and end the
present crisis. The Senate must take it up immediately.


“America’s sovereignty is at stake.


“Any consideration of this Senate bill in its current form is a waste of time.
It is DEAD on arrival in the House. We encourage the U.S. Senate to reject it.”

ICYMI: Elise – ‘Trump Did NOT Commit Insurrection, It’s a Fact’


On Tuesday, Elise joined Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) to discuss their
resolution affirming that President Donald Trump did not engage in insurrection
or rebellion against the United States. Elise highlighted how Far Left Democrat
operatives are attempting to use this lie to illegally prevent President Trump
from returning to the White House, shredding the Constitution in the process.

Elise Denounces 'Dangerous Precedent' as D.C. Court of Appeals Rejects Trump's
Presidential Immunity


Following the disastrous ruling from the D.C. Court of Appeals regarding
President Trump’s presidential immunity, Elise released the following statement
condemning the decision –


"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruling that
President Donald Trump does not have immunity from prosecution sets a dangerous
precedent, violates our Constitution, and threatens the very bedrock of our
nation. President Trump's actions surrounding election integrity were within
his official duties as the President as he was investigating legitimate
Constitutional questions about the election. The precedent set today by the
D.C. Circuit's decision means that future presidents who leave office will
likely face politicized prosecutions by the opposing party. The President of
the United States must have immunity, like Members of Congress and federal
judges, which is necessary for any presidency to function properly. I fully
support President Trump's efforts to appeal this unconstitutional ruling to the
Supreme Court, where I expect a thoughtful decision to overturn this dangerous
precedent."


Elise Speaks Out in Support of Israel Aid and Border Security


On Tuesday, Elise joined House colleagues to discuss the Israel Security
Supplemental Appropriations Act, which would provide lifesaving funding and
resources to our most precious ally Israel, and protect American service
members who are under attack from Iranian-backed terrorists. Elise also
discussed the House vote to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas for his willful and systemic refusal to enforce our
immigration laws and breach of public trust. Elise stated –


“This week, House Republicans continue to lead on key issues facing Americans
at home and threats facing our troops and allies abroad. Unlike Joe Biden,
House Republicans stand with Israel, and we will vote on the Israel Security
Supplemental Appropriations Act: a standalone 17.6 billion-dollar package which
will provide lifesaving funding and resources to stand with Israel and protect
American soldiers who have been under attack from Iranian-backed proxies. Under
Joe Biden, over one hundred and fifty attacks have been carried out against
American soldiers by Iranian terrorists and their supporters. Joe Biden's
weakness has emboldened our adversaries abroad and put American lives at risk.
Providing funding for our troops and ensuring Israel has the resources to
defend itself from the onslaught of unprovoked terrorist backed attacks is not
political or partisan. It is a moral imperative. Here at home, Joe Biden’s
weakness and open border policies have left our borders wide open. Millions of
illegal immigrants have invaded our country due to Joe Biden's open border,
executive actions. And while Joe Biden and Extreme Democrats push non-starter
legislation that will only worsen the crisis at our border, House Republicans
have already passed H.R. 2, the strongest border package ever, and this week,
we will vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his
willful and systemic refusal to enforce our immigration laws and breach of
public trust.”


Chairwoman Stefanik Calls out Joe Biden’s Disgraceful Border Speech


On Tuesday, President Joe Biden made an unsuccessful attempt to shift blame
for his administration's failures in securing the border. He claimed that
Congress was responsible for these shortcomings rather than taking
responsibility himself. Since the beginning of his presidency, President Biden
has implemented various measures aimed at undermining border security and
undoing the progress made in immigration control during the previous
administration. Elise released the following statement –


“It is offensive and appalling that Joe Biden is so politically desperate that
he is attempting to shift blame to others for the Biden Border Crisis that he
himself created with his failed policies and dangerous executive actions. The
Border is wide open because of Joe Biden. And America knows it. Joe Biden used
his executive authority to open the border up. He can use it to shut it down.
Shame on the media for serving as stenographers for Joe Biden’s desperate
attempt to rewrite history and shirk responsibility. House Republicans passed
the Secure the Border Act which actually secures the border which Joe Biden
vehemently opposed. This is why in poll after poll, President Trump is winning.
We must elect President Trump who had the most secure border in my lifetime
during his presidency.”


Elise Endorses Nancy Dahlstrom for Alaska


This week, Elise and E-PAC endorsed Lt. Governor Nancy Dahlstrom for Congress
in Alaska’s at-large district. Nancy Dahlstrom was elected to serve as Alaska’s
15th Lieutenant Governor in 2022, and has worked on behalf of hardworking
Alaskan families since 2003 in various capacities.

Elise Secures Funding for Paul Smith’s College


Following Elise’s leadership and advocacy for higher education in the North
Country, she was proud to announce that the Northern Border Regional Commission
will award $1 million in awards to Paul Smith’s College located in Franklin
County.


“I always deliver results for our district which is why I am pleased to
announce that following my advocacy on behalf of the application from Paul
Smith’s College to the Northern Border Regional Commission the college will be
receiving $1 million for essential infrastructure enhancements integral to its
long-term stability and the betterment of our region,” said Congresswoman Elise
Stefanik. “Paul Smith’s College plays a pivotal role in Upstate New York’s
economy and is uniquely situated as one of only two forestry schools in New
York offering degrees accredited by the Society of American Foresters. The
vital infrastructure enhancements this award will fund will guarantee their
ability to prepare a highly skilled, well-trained, and career-ready workforce
for our forest economy, as it has diligently done for over 75 years.”
