Good Afternoon!

Thank you for being a steadfast supporter of the House GOP Battleground Fund, the tip of the spear for New York’s victory efforts. 

As you know, this very important effort is led by House GOP Chairwoman and Upstate Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to protect the 'battleground' congressional seats in New York State.

We appreciate your continued support and wanted to share a few big updates for the week:

Chairwoman Stefanik Condemns Harvard’s Failure to Address Antisemitism

This week, Chairwoman Stefanik penned a letter to the leaders of Harvard University, criticizing them for not promptly investigating an assault on a Jewish student, which might result in the assailant graduating before facing consequences. Chairwoman Stefanik also condemned Harvard for what she sees as a failure to address antisemitism and protect Jewish students and faculty, suggesting that such negligence reflects poorly on the university's leadership and tarnishes its reputation. Chairwoman Stefanik said:

"One of the assailants in the incident, a Harvard Divinity School graduate student, is scheduled to graduate in May 2024. Due to this postponement, the assailant will gain the lifelong distinction of being an alumnus of Harvard despite having committed a well-documented antisemitic hate crime against a fellow student.

"This recent case of Harvard protecting those who hate Jews is disgusting. As an alumna of Harvard University, allowing this student to gain the title of Harvard graduate disgraces all who have come before him and erodes the distinction of a once sought after degree. At a time when support and applications for Harvard have fallen, university leadership has continuously chosen to side with those who hate Jewish students and faculty and failed to keep them safe."

Alison Esposito – “Border Security is National Security”

On Thursday, Alison Esposito took to Newsmax to address Joe Biden’s failed border policy and the issues it causes for our communities. Under Joe Biden and in just 2023, 300 known terrorists were caught crossing our border. Alison stated –

“In Joe Biden’s America, there is no accountability for criminals, illegal aliens, and administration officials who are derelict in their duties.

The Southern border is wide open on purpose, at the direction of the current administration on Day One.”

Watch her full comments on Newsmax here.

House Republicans are the 'last line of defense' in holding the Biden Administration accountable for their failures, and no one is fighting harder than the congressional delegation from New York.

In 2022, we elected FIVE new Republicans in battleground congressional seats. These gains secured the GOP House Majority last cycle – and we are responsible for protecting these seats in 2024.

We greatly appreciate your investment in our House GOP Battleground Fund. We are on the front lines of New York's grassroots and field efforts; this newsletter is our way to keep you posted on our efforts. We hope you continue to support this very critical effort.
