Elise Releases Statement on Tish James' Attempt to Seize President Trump's Westchester Properties

On Thursday, Elise slammed Tish James’ latest attack on President Trump – filing to seize his properties in Westchester, NY. Read Elise’s full statement –

"The weaponization against Joe Biden’s political opponent, President Donald Trump, is an absolutely unprecedented form of election interference. It is fundamentally un-American that Tish James and Judge Engoron—without even a jury—imposed an unconstitutionally punitive nearly half billion judgment against Trump. And now they are punishing President Trump for exercising his right to appeal by attempting to seize his assets. The New York appellate courts must immediately stop this. Otherwise, key businesses—and crucial jobs—are going to continue to flee our state."

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 Delivers $2M for Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project in Whitehall

Elise announced that she secured $2 million for a Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project in the Village of Whitehall in this year’s appropriations process.

Elise Delivers $478k for Schoharie County Bridge Replacement

Elise announced that she secured $478,000 to go towards designs to replace a 100-year-old bridge in Schoharie County. These designs are critical to the replacement of this critical infrastructure that is a key transportation link for the local economy, emergency services, and school districts.

Elise Delivers $2M for Village of Rouses Point Water Treatment Project

Elise announced that she secured $2 million in funding for a Water Treatment Improvement Project in the Village of Rouses Point.

Elise Delivers $1.6M for Well Water Supply in Poestenkill

Elise announced that she secured $1,693,000 in funding for a Well Water Supply Project in the Town of Poestenkill. This funding will be used to create a new water district to address the immediate need to protect the health and safety of more than 670 precious students, school staff, and hundreds of residents in the surrounding area.

Elise Delivers $1.5M for Richfield Springs Fire Station

Elise announced that she secured $1.5 million in funding for improvements to Richfield Springs Fire Station. This funding would be used to construct a new fire station as the current station is deteriorating. Replacing this essential facility is critical to public health and safety.

Elise Delivers $1.5M for Small Cell Cellular Deployment in Hamilton County

Elise Delivers $1.5M for Montgomery Sheriff's Office

Elise Hosts Alison Esposito in Washington DC

On Wednesday, Elise hosted an event in support of her good friend Alison Esposito, who is the strongest candidate for NY-18 with a record of putting the safety and security of New Yorkers first. Alison has what it takes to defeat failed Far Left Democrat Pat Ryan in November!

Elise Slams Biden’s Gas Ban

On Wednesday, Elise slammed Joe Biden’s ban on gas-powered vehicles on X, saying:

“Joe Biden’s ban of gas-powered vehicles is the most recent and most extreme example of Far-Left Democrats crushing hardworking American families. Joe Biden and the Democrat Party are pushing their radical agenda onto the American people and threatening our economic security in the process. We’ve already seen the disastrous consequences of similar policies in Democrat-led New York, resulting in higher prices and a lack of access that leaves behind people like my constituents in rural Upstate New York and the North Country. Joe Biden should learn from Kathy Hochul’s failures and reverse his decision to phase out the gas-powered vehicles many Americans depend on.”

Supreme Court Rules Texas CAN Defend Itself

In another great win, this week the Supreme Court has allowed Texas officials to jail and prosecute migrants on state criminal charges – a HUGE loss for Joe Biden and a win for our national security. Joe Biden intentionally created this Biden Border Crisis but he CANNOT PROHIBIT states from protecting themselves where he has failed.

Earlier this year, Elise proudly signed onto an amicus brief which laid out Texas’ right to defend themselves from Biden’s open border policies. The court’s opinion upheld that position.
