| Happy Sunday – we hope you are enjoying your St. Patricks Day 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 Washington and across NY-21! | | Here are a few top Team Elise updates and stories we have been tracking for the past week! | | Elise and House GOP Leadership Release Statement on Biden’s Reckless Budget | | On Monday, Speaker Mike Johnson, Leader Steve Scalise, Whip Tom Emmer, and Elise released a statement condemning Joe Biden’s out-of-touch budget. House Republicans are focused on reining in the trillions of dollars in reckless spending to ensure hardworking American families thrive, unlike Far Left Democrats and Joe Biden who are placing yet another painful financial burden on taxpayers. Read the joint statement below – | | “The price tag of President Biden’s proposed budget is yet another glaring reminder of this Administration’s insatiable appetite for reckless spending and the Democrats’ disregard for fiscal responsibility. Biden’s budget doesn’t just miss the mark — it is a roadmap to accelerate America’s decline. | | While hardworking Americans struggle with crushing inflation and mounting national debt, the President would increase their pain to spend trillions of additional taxpayer dollars to advance his left-wing agenda. | | House Republicans reject Biden’s misguided budget proposal and have taken action to steer our nation back to a path of fiscal sanity. Our efforts to rein in the runaway spending spree from last year's budget have already yielded results, lowering projected deficits by $2.6 trillion over the next decade. The House’s budget plan for the next fiscal year, preceding the President’s proposal, reflects the values of hardworking Americans who know that in tough economic times, fiscal discipline is non-negotiable. House Republicans understand the American people expect and deserve nothing less from their government.” | | Read more in Fox News here. | | REAL RESULTS: Elise Delivers for NY-21 | | This week, Elise rolled out her most recent results for the hardworking families of NY-21, delivering funding for several critical projects across the district – |
| Elise announced $4.5 million in funding through the Consolidated Appropriations Act for the Saranac Lake emergency complex. These funds will be used to modernize the emergency services facility in Saranac Lake and provide necessary resources for our dedicated first responders. | | Elise announced $1.8 million in funding for a Water District Development Project in the Town of Massena. This allocation will be utilized to supply public water service to residents of Massena who are currently experiencing inadequate service from failing well systems. | | Elise announced $2 million in funding for the Consolidated Regional Sewer System Project in Fulton County. This crucial funding will enable the establishment of a state-of-the-art sewer district, bolster the community's wastewater infrastructure, and safeguard against potential contamination of surface water and groundwater from outdated and deteriorating structures. | | Elise announced $1.5 million in funding through the Consolidated Appropriations Act for the Richfield Springs Fire Station in NY-21. This funding will support improvements to the local fire station, ensuring residents have adequate emergency services in this rural part of the district. | | House Passes Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act | | On Wednesday, the House passed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. If passed by the Senate and signed by the President – this would require app stores and web hosting services to remove Chinese Communist Party-controlled applications, including TikTok, unless the app severs ties to entities controlled by a foreign adversary. | | “I have consistently said that Tik Tok is a national security threat. I co-led this important legislation to stop CCP owned TikTok from continuing to infect our society and poison the minds of young Americans with pro-Communist China propaganda. We cannot allow our adversaries to build an arsenal of data on American citizens that can be used to exploit and weaponize them.” | | HIGHLIGHTS: Elise & House Republican Leadership
Host 2024 Issues Conference | | On Wednesday, the House Republican Conference joined Elise and Leadership in West Virginia to discuss critical issues facing everyday Americans and how they will lead in contrasting the Far Left’s radical agenda. Read Elise’s statement – | | “The House Republican Conference Annual Issues Conference is an opportunity for House Republican Members to continue our planning and work for our legislative agenda. | | The failed Far Left policies of Joe Biden are in clear contrast to Republicans’ commitment to America. Republicans are proudly the party of hardworking Americans, law enforcement, veterans, small businesses, farmers, families, seniors, and we are proudly the party of parents.” |
| Elise Pens Op-Ed Supporting NY Maple Producers | | Elise penned an op-ed in Sun Community News to support our incredible maple producers who provide delicious maple products nationwide. There is nothing quite like New York Maple Syrup! Read an excerpt from Elise’s op-ed below – | | “Agriculture is truly the backbone of our Upstate economy and we are proud that New York is the second highest producing state of maple syrup in the nation. In fact, the North Country is home to two of the top three highest-producing counties for maple syrup in the state: Clinton and St. Lawrence counties. Our dedicated maple producers - most of them family-owned and operated - work incredibly hard to provide delicious products and support our region’s economy…” | | Read Elise’s full op-ed in Sun Community News here. | | NY-21 ENDORSEMENT ALERT: Christine Esposito for NY Assembly | | On Monday, Elise proudly announced her endorsement of Christine Esposito, who is running for the New York State Assembly in the 119th District.
