| Happy Sunday – we hope you are enjoying your weekend! | | We are now only 8️⃣6️⃣ DAYS away from polls opening on Election day! | | 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 Leads Rally Opposing Kathy Hochul’s Prison Closure Plan | | On Sunday, Elise joined hundreds of Upstate residents in Fort Ann to support the Great Meadow Correctional Facility and oppose Kathy Hochul’s devastating decision to close the prison. Hochul has once again put Upstate New York and the North Country last with her plan that would uproot hundreds of hard working law enforcement families and rip them from their community. | | "I will always stand up for our correctional officers, their families, and our Upstate communities against attacks by failed Governor Kathy Hochul and her radical Far Left Democrat agenda hurting hardworking Upstate New York families. If the decision to close Great Meadows Correctional Facility is followed through, it will result in the single largest loss of jobs in the North Country in over ten years with over 800 jobs lost or relocated in addition to the hundreds of jobs that support the prison staff.
After meeting with our hardworking correctional officers, it is clear that more support from the state is needed to address the low staffing and retention issues our prison facilities are facing. In addition to the devastating job losses, Kathy Hochul’s forced closures will lead to dangerous overcrowding in our remaining prisons, all while ‘inmate on officers’ assaults are at record numbers. We must work together to end this madness from Kathy Hochul and save Great Meadows Correctional Facility.” |  | | See her posts here and here.

Mike Lawler (NY-17) introduced the Justice for 9/11 Act to prevent the Biden-Harris Administration from offering plea deals to the 9/11 terrorists Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi. | | “In an effort to prevent the Biden-Harris Administration from offering another sickening plea deal to the al-Qaeda terrorists behind the horrific terrorist attacks of 9/11, I am proud to co-lead the introduction of the Justice for 9/11 Act to ensure these terrorists receive the harshest punishment for their roles in the deadliest terrorist attack in American history. On behalf of the nearly 3,000 Americans killed on 9/11 and thousands of first responders who died from 9/11 health related illnesses, our service members, including 10th Mountain Division Soldiers, who gave their lives to eliminate terrorists, I will do everything in my power to make sure these terrorists are tried to the fullest extent of the law for their heinous crimes against America. We have not forgotten.” |  | | "The Justice for 9/11 Act will ensure that no future plea deal will be offered to these terrorists by requiring a trial and ensuring the death penalty remains on the table. Anything less is a disservice to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice on that day and in the months and years since." | | Kamala Harris Appoints Far Left Tim Walz as Her Running Mate | | On Tuesday, Kamala Harris announced that Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota would be joining the Democratic ticket as her Vice-Presidential candidate. Tim Walz supports defunding the police and flooding our cities with illegal immigrants. Together with Kamala Harris he will push for the most destructive and radical Far Left Democrat policies America has ever seen and destroy our nation as we know it. We must defeat them this November. | | “Kamala Harris’ selection of Tim Walz as her running mate confirms that the Democrat Party will anoint the most radical Far Left wing ticket in history. The Harris-Walz ticket is dangerous for hardworking American families as they will destroy our economy and compromise our national security.
Walz was a failed Member of Congress and a failed Governor who supported BLM rioters who torched Minneapolis to the ground, while Kamala Harris fundraised to bail out violent criminals from prison.
Walz voted to increase reckless government spending leading to historic inflation, strip Americans of their preferred doctors, and has supported failed Far Left Democrat open border policies for decades.
A Harris-Walz Administration would be the end of America as we know it. We must elect President Donald J. Trump and Senator JD Vance to save America. The American First movement must redouble our efforts to ensure a Trump-Vance victory this November and DEFEAT the radical Harris-Walz ticket to Save America.” | | New York Small Businesses Endorse Elise | | This week, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) endorsed Elise for re-election. NFIB is the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization representing thousands of small businesses across New York, including over 1,500 in New York’s 21st Congressional District. | | “I am humbled and honored to earn the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Businesses, which represents over 1,500 small businesses in NY-21. Small businesses across Upstate New York and the North Country are the backbone of our local economy, and I will never stop fighting for them at the highest levels to deliver real results back to our district.” | | NFIB New York State Director Ashley Ranslow stated – | | “Chairwoman Elise Stefanik is a champion for Upstate New York’s small businesses. As a NFIB Guardian of Small Business, her voting record stands strong at 100%. She is an original co-sponsor of the Main Street Tax Certainty Act which is crucial for small businesses in our state as it avoids a massive tax hike by making the small business deduction permanent. We are confident Chairwoman Stefanik will continue to support the small business economy and we are proud to endorse her for re-election today.” | | Elise Leads Trump Force 47 Captain Training | | On Tuesday, Elise led a virtual training with Trump Force 47 Captains. These America First Patriots are making a difference in Republicans’ ground game leading up to the election in November. The coalition is made up of thousands of neighborhood organizers making small time commitments to get out the vote in their communities. Their efforts will build the largest grassroots base we’ve ever seen to save America from Kamala Harris and get President Donald Trump back in the White House! | | “Kamala Harris’ National Security Advisor has concerningly close ties to a known Iranian agent within the Department of Defense and has brazenly published numerous pro-Iran opinion pieces exposing the depth of the Kamala Harris anti-Israel, pro-Iran agenda. Since last year, I have demanded accountability from the Department of Defense for allowing Iranian regime acolytes to infiltrate high level government staff. The Biden-Harris Administration policy of appeasing Iran and abandoning Israel will only worsen if Kamala Harris and her Iranian apologist staff are elevated. I am proud to join Senator Cotton to demand accountability.” | | Sign up for future training sessions here. | | Elise Joins Bipartisan Amicus Brief Reaffirming Congressional Authority to Protect Americans from CCP-Owned TikTok | | Last Friday, Elise joined a bipartisan group of nearly 60 Members of Congress in submitting an amicus brief to the D.C. Circuit Court. The lawmakers affirmed Congress’ authority to combat the national security threats posed by TikTok by enacting the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. | | “For years, I have raised concerns about the national security threats of CCP-controlled TikTok which is why I co-led the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act which was signed into law. We cannot allow our greatest strategic adversary to have a stronghold in American households promoting CCP propaganda, pro-Hamas talking points, and anti-American content. I am proud to join this bipartisan amicus brief to reaffirm the constitutionality of this law to stand up to TikTok and ByteDance and ensure we end the poisonous CCP-fueled malware that is TikTok.” | | Iranian Proxies Attack American Base in Iraq | | On Monday, multiple American service members at al-Assad air base were wounded in action in a rocket attack conducted by Iranian-backed militants. Both Iran and Hezbollah have threatened further escalation in the wake of Israel’s assassinations of terrorist leaders. In a statement on X, Elise said – | | “Our country is praying for the recovery of the U.S. service members who were injured in the Iranian-backed attack on al-Asad airbase in Iraq.
Since day one, the Biden-Harris Administration's policy of appeasement towards Iran has provided the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism with resources and a greenlight to carry out attacks against U.S. service members and our great ally Israel. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris reversed President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign allowing Iranian oil exports to skyrocket, providing Tehran access to $16 billion in sanctions relief, and opposing the snapback of UN sanctions on Iran’s missile and drone program.
This appeasement has empowered Iranian-backed terrorists to carry out nearly 200 attacks against U.S. service members, resulting in the deaths of Americans and countless injuries.
In 2020, following an Iranian-backed attack on U.S. forces, President Donald Trump took out Iranian General Soleimani causing Iran to cease its escalatory behavior. We know what works, yet the Biden-Harris Administration refuses to stand up to Iran. America needs a Commander in Chief who will protect our service members, demand peace through strength, apply maximum pressure, and put an end to Iran's aggression.” | - FOX NEWS: Elise Stefanik Says Trump’s Family Has Suffered From ‘Relentless’ Media Attacks
