Happy Sunday – we hope you are enjoying your weekend! | Welcome back to Team Elise's weekly newsletter! We send a note to Elise's supporters weekly to update them 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! | Elise Receives Prestigious ‘Jack Kemp Leadership Award’ at New York GOP’s Annual Gala | This week, Elise was honored at the New York GOP’s annual gala with the prestigious ‘Jack Kemp Leadership Award’ the highest honor bestowed by the New York Republican Party. Some of the special guests included Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Lee Zeldin. The NYGOP is ready to take back our country with President Trump in November! Read an excerpt from Chairwoman Stefanik’s speech– | “I am truly humbled by this extraordinary honor of receiving the Jack Kemp Award by the New York GOP. | Jack Kemp was an iconic leader in our great state who was known as the quintessential Happy Warrior who advocated for hardworking families, economic opportunity, and strengthening the American Dream.” | Elise Visits Rome Air Force Research Laboratory | This week, Elise visited the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome (which is located in the newly redrawn NY-21) to meet with researchers working on cutting-edge technologies and highlight the over $415 million she secured to support the lab's growth. This extraordinary investment will continue to accelerate research in quantum, cyber, space, and emerging technologies to strengthen U.S. national defense. | Elise also announced that next week when Congress returns to Washington, she will introduce the Defense Quantum Acceleration Act. This landmark legislation will supercharge the Department of Defense’s approach to quantum information science and create the framework for building the first utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer in Rome. | Elise Visits New York’s Northern Border | On Wednesday, Elise met with Border Patrol agents and leadership in the Swanton Sector for a briefing on the catastrophic rise of illegal activity along our Northern Border in New York's 21st district. Elise also toured parts of the Northern Border in Clinton County, where there has been a major spike in illegal crossings. While it is clear that Joe Biden’s failed policies have caused a crisis at our Northern and Southern Borders, our hardworking Border Patrol agents are extraordinarily dedicated to this ever-challenging mission. | Elise also met with our dedicated Customs and Border Protection officers at the Port of Champlain for an update on the significant Northern Border challenges and threats. Our community is incredibly grateful for the dedicated CBP officers and personnel. | Elise Visits Michelin Factory | On Wednesday, Elise toured the Michelin plant in Plattsburgh. Elise met many of the dedicated and hardworking employees who produce over 95% of all rubber snowmobile tracks in the world. This Michelin facility also makes tires and equipment for heavy machinery and recreational vehicles. Elise is a proud advocate for manufacturing opportunities in Upstate New York and the North Country to support local jobs and economic growth. | Elise Joins Cats & Cosby Radio Show | On Wednesday evening, Elise joined John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby on 77WABC’s Cats & Cosby radio show. Elise discussed the impact of Democrats’ failed Far Left policies on New York State, including the rise in violent crime and the out of control illegal immigrant crisis. Elise also touched on the ‘Jack Kemp Leadership Award’ which she received for her work serving New York Republicans and highlighted the unprecedented legal warfare waged against President Donald Trump. | Listen to Elise’s full interview here. | Team Elise Secures Signatures to Return Elise to the Ballot | This week, Elise expressed her gratitude for the dedication and hard work of our over 1,000 volunteers and the unwavering support she has received from Republican and Conservative voters across the newly redistricted NY-21. Despite facing challenging weather conditions, dedicated volunteers tirelessly collected nearly 10,000 signatures for our campaign in four weeks! | Elise Slams Biden Border Crisis | The Biden administration said they no longer feel a “sense of urgency” when it came to securing our borders. Elise went to X to hammer Biden’s dereliction of duty, saying: | “Biden has allowed more than 9 million illegal immigrants to invade our country, and now he’s GIVING UP. His Administration says they no longer feel a “sense of urgency” regarding the border. | Using taxpayer dollars to fly immigrants into our country is NOT a solution to the Biden Border Crisis.” | In fact, the GOP just launched BidenBloodbath.com, a website dedicated to highlighting the horrors of Biden’s border invasion. | Sign up to receive real-time updates on the Biden Border Crisis! | NEW YORK GETS OUT THE VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP | On Tuesday, New Yorkers all over the state turned out in droves to vote for President Trump in the NY primaries. For weeks, New Yorkers have sent in their early and absentee votes ready to send President Trump back to the White House in November! | ENDORSEMENT ALERT – Elise Endorses Gabe Evans for CO-08 | This week, Elise endorsed Gabe Evans, who is running in Colorado’s 8th district, against Far Left Democrat Yadira Caraveo. Caraveo is one of the House Democrat’s most vulnerable members, and as a former police officer, Gabe Evans brings a great contrast to her failed record.
