Team, the Republican National Convention kicked off this week, and as expected, it was nothing short of a coronation for Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick, J.D. Vance.

Unfortunately for Elise Stefanik, that means she lost the veepstakes.

So before she took the stage to give her primetime speech, she delivered a press conference to reporters eager to hear about her next moves for 2024. She wasted no time showing where her head is at, saying quite plainly: "I believe we will defeat Pat Ryan."

It's clear as day: Flipping New York is now Elise Stefanik's top priority — and Pat is #1 on her target list.

Will you rush in $10 or any amount to ensure we can respond to whatever attacks Elise Stefanik and MAGA Republicans throw our way following the national convention?

Team, in her speech at the Republican National Convention, Elise Stefanik told a room full of GOP fundraisers and megadonors that New York is a "battleground state."

Make no mistake: Stefanik’s top target is still Pat Ryan. Despite losing the veepstakes, she is still in a leadership position inside the GOP as Conference Chair — the #3 House Republican. When we tell you Stefanik is breathing down our necks every single day, we mean it. After all, she represents a district just to our north, and earlier this year, she committed to spending whatever it would take, alongside Speaker Johnson, Trump, and their worst enablers, to hold on to power by winning in seats just like this one. Team, we can't let that happen.

Elise Stefanik knows that the path to a Democratic House majority depends on us defending Pat’s toss-up seat. She said as much to party insiders and political reporters right before taking the stage. And after her not-so-subtle speech at the RNC, now influential donors and the GOP base are ready to get in on the action, too.

So please, chip in $10 or any amount to help us keep pace with the flood of MAGA cash that’s sure to hit our district in the coming weeks.
