Here are a few top Team Elise updates and stories we have been tracking for the past week! 

2024 Republican National Convention

This week, Elise attended the Republican National Convention. From delivering a primetime address to serving as Chair of the New York Delegation. . . these are some highlights of the packed week:

ELISE DELIVERS PRIMETIME ADDRESS ON TUESDAY

Elise delivered a primetime address at the GOP Convention on Tuesday. The theme for day two was “Make America Safe Once Again”. Following her speech, Elise tweeted –

“I have been proud to always stand in the breach during the toughest moments for President Donald Trump and I will continue to fight alongside him to #SaveAmerica. With President Trump back in the White House we will make America safe once again!”

You can watch her speech on Rumble here and read an excerpt of her remarks below:

“We always say that this is the most important election in our lifetime. But we know deep down, this one truly is.

Our Constitution and the soul of our very nation are on the ballot. Under Joe Biden, the American people have suffered crisis after crisis. From the Biden Border, the most wide-open border in our nation’s history. To Bidenflation, the highest rate of inflation in my lifetime, devastating hardworking families with skyrocketing prices for groceries, gas, and utilities.

We the people will never give up on President Trump and we will never give up on the United States of America. God Bless you. God Bless President Donald J. Trump, and God Bless the United States of America."

PRESIDENT TRUMP DELIVERS HISTORIC KEYNOTE ADDRESS TO CONCLUDE THE TERRIFIC GOP CONVENTION

Less than a week after surviving a horrific assassination attempt, President Trump delivered an inspiring and historic address to finish off the most successful GOP Convention in history.

President Trump stated in part –

“To every citizen — whether you are young or old, a man or woman, Democrat, Republican, or Independent, black or white, Asian or Hispanic — I extend to you a hand of loyalty and friendship.

Together, we will lead America to new heights of greatness like the world has never seen.”

Elise Introduces Bill to Support Healthcare Access for Military Moms

On Friday, Elise introduced the Military Moms Act to support our service members, dependents, and their growing families. This legislation deems pregnancy a Qualifying Life Event (QLE), allowing those on TRICARE to enroll in a new plan that better suits the mother’s needs. It also incorporates aspects of the Improving Access to Maternal Health for Military and Dependent Moms Act, which Elise introduced in February 2024. These provisions require the Department of Defense to prepare a comprehensive report on maternal healthcare in the military health system and consolidate all of its maternal resources in a single webpage for new and expecting families.

Trump Witch Hunt Dismissed In Court

On Monday, federal Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith. She ruled that Smith’s appointment by Attorney General Merrick Garland was unconstitutional because it did not come from the President of the United States nor was it approved by Congress. Elise gave the following statement after the opinion was released–

“I applaud Judge Aileen Cannon for having the courage and wisdom to dismiss corrupt Jack Smith’s unconstitutional witch hunt against President Trump. As I have been saying from the beginning, this sham case against President Trump violated our Constitution. Only Congress can create new officers and spend taxpayer money. However, Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice tried to shred the Constitution with the appointment of their so called “special counsel” Jack Smith as part of their desperate illegal lawfare campaign against President Trump.

Today marks a historic victory for our Constitution and the rule of law. This dismissal is not just a win for President Trump but a triumph for the principles our nation was founded upon. Our country must come together and unite to end the weaponization of our justice system and restore equal justice under the law.”

President Trump Selects Senator J.D. Vance to be Vice President

On Monday, President Trump announced Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio as his Vice Presidential candidate. Elise stated–

“President Trump made a strong VP choice to win this November and govern to save America. J.D. Vance is a strong America First leader and proven conservative. I have enjoyed getting to know J.D. on the campaign trail as surrogates for President Trump and I look forward to campaigning and working with him closely in the months and years ahead. I am humbled and honored to have been considered by President Trump throughout this process. Thank you to my constituents in NY-21, House Republican Conference colleagues, and family for their love, support, and encouragement. As I have always said, I will proudly work my very hardest to elect President Trump and Vice President Vance this November to win the White House, flip the Senate, and expand the House Republican Majority.”

Elise Calls for Secret Service Director Cheatle to Resign

Following the horrific assassination attempt last weekend, Elise spoke with President Trump on Sunday morning. She helped rally support for President Trump’s approved fundraiser helping victims and their families and on Wednesday called for United States Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign given her complete failure to carry out the agency’s primary mission of protecting President Trump.

Elise stated –

“The Director of USSS and Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security have abysmally failed to deliver immediate transparency and answers that are owed to the American people. Most importantly, it was an absolute massive security failure leading to the assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump on Saturday. I am calling for the immediate resignation of USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle. We will work to ensure ALL answers and transparency are immediately delivered to the American people."

Elise Introduces TRACKS Act with Senator Joni Ernst

On Thursday, Elise joined Senator Joni Ernst to reintroduce the Tracking Receipts to Adversarial Countries for Knowledge of Spending (TRACKS) Act. This legislation brings much needed transparency after it was discovered that over $1.3 billion of American tax dollars have gone to Russia and Communist China for research in recent years. It requires recipients and subrecipients of federal grants or contracts to disclose every transaction with entities located in adversarial countries. The need to report exactly where the entity is located, the purpose of the expenditure, and account for every penny disbursed. Furthermore, these reports must be made available to the general public. Elise stated–

“I am proud to join Senator Joni Ernst in reintroducing the TRACKS Act ensuring that no American taxpayer dollars are used to fund our foreign adversaries. It is inexcusable that the Department of Defense publicly admitted that they are not tracking taxpayer dollars going to Communist China. We cannot allow a single penny from hardworking Americans to go to foreign adversaries actively working against America and our interests. This desperately needed legislation ensures that bureaucrats are held accountable for their reckless and irresponsible spending that is lining the pockets of countries like Communist China.”

Storms Wreak Havoc Throughout NY-21

On Tuesday, Elise spoke with WKTV on the floor of the GOP Convention to discuss the storm cell that produced a tornado, flooding, and excessive damage across NY-21. Elise said –

“[We’re] working very hard with local elected officials with the flooding issues and the tornado that touched down in Rome. I’ve been in touch with local elected officials about that today and our office is working to make sure resources are available. . . I’ve already been in touch with the County Executive, I’ve been in touch with the Mayor today about making sure that resources for small businesses [are available]. We have worked on this over the years with FEMA and we are committed to delivering those results for families who have been devastated.”

On Wednesday morning, Elise posted on X –

“I’ve been in touch with local officials in Rome, NY and Oneida County to ensure we deliver the resources needed to families and small businesses impacted by the tornado and flood damage.

Praying for everyone’s safety in Upstate New York. We will continue to act quickly alongside [Congressman Brandon Williams] in providing relief and support.”

Later that evening, Elise shared the following update from National Grid NY and added–

“My office has been in contact with local officials from Fulton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Montgomery, Oneida, Ostego, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schoharie, St. Lawrence, Warren, and Washington counties to discuss the impact of yesterday’s storms.

In Warren County, [National Grid] will have a dry ice distribution center set up at the Warrensburg Fire House at 18 Elm St tomorrow.”
