| 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! | | NEW YORK REDISTRICTING UPDATE: The New NY-21 | | On Wednesday, Elise released the following statement on the new 2024 Congressional Map in New York: | | "All throughout this redistricting process, Albany Democrats attempted to illegally gerrymander districts with partisan tactics and corrupt back-room deals to silence the will of voters, and yet on behalf of all hardworking New Yorkers who deserve fair and legal districts, New York Republicans have held the line. Overall, we have protected our House Majority. This November, we plan to protect all our GOP-held districts and expand our House Majority right here in New York, and this map allows just that. | | This legal and political victory comes bittersweet. I’m deeply disappointed to no longer serve as the Congressional Representative in Rensselaer County and Otsego County, part of Montgomery County, as well as parts of Jefferson County following the 2024 election. I will continue to work my very hardest to deliver results to my constituents. I look forward to representing the hardworking families, small businesses, farmers, veterans, and seniors in Saratoga County again and those in Oneida County. | | I am still honored to represent Fort Drum, and as a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, I will always be the strongest voice for the North Country and Fort Drum’s servicemembers and families, as Fort Drum is the lifeblood of our entire North Country economy and culture. As the North Country deeply understands, Fort Drum’s impact is regional, statewide, national, and international. I look forward to serving as the top voice for Rome Air Force Research Laboratory on the House Armed Services Committee, for whom I have already delivered significant results.” | | Read Elise’s full statement here. | | Elise Joins NEWSMAX Live from CPAC – “Women Will Back President Trump in 2024” | | After her speech at CPAC last Friday, Elise sat down with Newsmax to discuss the female vote in 2024 for President Trump, Joe Biden’s failures with securing the border, and delivering a strong economy for the American people, and more! | | “Well, every issue is a woman’s issue. I’ve always said this whether it’s the crime crisis, the border crisis, whether we see the painful Biden economics. And a lot of times, it’s the moms who are balancing the budget, who are going to the grocery store. They see that increase in prices; they know it’s a result of Joe Biden’s failure,” Stefanik said. “So I think the more the president contrasts, which he does very well, President Trump contrasts his success — whether it’s economic success, national security success, border security success — with Joe Biden‘s abject failure, he’s going to continue to win.” | | Read more from The Washington Examiner here. | | Elise Says US 'Allowing' Hostile Countries To 'Brainwash' Next Generation | | On Saturday, Elise said that the United States is allowing hostile foreign countries to “brainwash” college students. She stated: | | “We’re allowing our adversaries to spew their propaganda and attempt to brainwash our next generation of students when it comes to what we’re seeing in the rise of antisemitism on campuses,” Stefanik told Coglianese. “I’m very concerned of Qatar money going into Middle Eastern studies departments, and one of the questions I asked the president of Harvard, now former president, that did not get as much media coverage but was very, very important, is account for your foreign dollars, how much.” | | “House Republicans passed a bill called the Deterrent Act, which lowers the threshold to $50,000 for any foreign contribution they have to make that publicly available,” Stefanik continued. “So there needs to be accountability and transparency, it’s is very common sense.” | | Read more in the Daily Caller here. | | Elise Live from CPAC 2024: ‘America Is On The Line’ | | Elise delivered a powerful speech last week at CPAC in Washington, DC. Elise encouraged conservatives to stay in the fight for the sanctity of the nation, touted the importance of supporting former President Donald J. Trump in November, and slammed President Biden and the radical left Democrats for destroying the greatest nation on earth. | | “For the first time ever, the majority of Americans believe the next generation will be worse off than their parents. This is fundamentally not who we are. The American dream is being destroyed by the radical left, and we are in a country that’s in crisis,” she continued. From Joe Biden’s catastrophic border crisis, to Bidenflation crushing hard-working families, to evil terrorists attacking our most precious ally, Israel, to the shredding of our Constitution, and to the unprecedented illegal and corrupt weaponization of the federal government, We the people must vote to save our hallowed republic.” | | "The border crisis is not the only Biden crisis. We are in an economic crisis for hardworking Americans. President Trump left Joe Biden the strongest economy in my lifetime. | | Yet Joe Biden and the Democrats quickly destroyed our economy by passing trillions of dollars of reckless spending leading to painful Bidenflation – the worst inflation in my lifetime." | | Read more in The Post Millennial here. | | In case you missed it last week – you can watch Elise’s full CPAC Speech here. | | Elise Joins Young Jewish Conservative Lighting Candles for Shabbat | | At the Shabbat dinner held at CPAC, David Milstein introduced Elise, who was given the honor of lighting the Shabbat candles. She spoke of her continued support for Israel and her determination to fight Antisemitism in academia and beyond. | | Elise Warns Democrats Will ‘Stop at Nothing’ to Steal 2024 | | Elise offered a stark warning to attendees at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference last Friday, claiming Democrats would use former President Donald Trump’s legal challenges to “steal the next election.” | | “The closer President Trump gets to victory, the dirtier the Democrats, their stenographers in the media, and the corrupt prosecutors will get,” Stefanik said in her prepared remarks. “They will stop at nothing, and I mean nothing in their attempt to steal this next election.” | | Read more from The Washington Examiner here. | | Elise Voices Support for President Trump After Latest Historic Primary Wins in South Carolina and Michigan | | After President Trump’s historic primary victories in South Carolina and Michigan, Elise posted a statement on X saying: | | “President Trump made history as he has swept every state in Republican primaries and caucuses! | | Voters have spoken loudly and clearly - It is long past time to move on to the general election to defeat Joe Biden and elect President Trump.” | | Thank you so much for your support of Chairwoman Elise Stefanik!
