rabid dog”


<[link removed]>

On Wednesday, Elise called for the resignation of Christine Paige who compared
the would be assassination of President Trump as “ akin to putting down a rabid
dog” after being shot at. Paige is a Democrat elected member of the Potsdam
Town Board. On social media, Paige also claimed that she has not seen any
“credible proof” that Trump is a human being. She is refusing to apologize
despite the outcry from her constituents and a formal censure from the St.
Lawrence County Legislature.


Elise called for Paige’s immediate resignation stating –


“Far Left Democrats supporting political violence and the assassination of
President Trump are shameful and do not deserve to represent the great people
of the North Country. Potsdam Town Board Member Christine Paige must be
condemned by the NY Democrat State Party, and she must resign in disgrace after
she said shooting President Trump would be like ‘putting down a rabid dog.’”

COLUMBIA PRESIDENT RESIGNS IN DISGRACE: Three Down – So Many to Go


On Wednesday, disgraced Columbia University President Minouche Shafik resigned
after allowing antisemitism to spread on campus and capitulating to the radical
pro-Hamas mob.


Elise stated on X –


“THREE DOWN, so many to go.

As I have said consistently since her catastrophic testimony at the Education
and Workforce Committee hearing, Columbia University’s President Minouche
Shafik’s failed presidency was untenable and it was only a matter of time
before her forced resignation. After failing to protect Jewish students and
negotiating with pro Hamas terrorists, this forced resignation is long overdue.
We will continue to demand moral clarity, condemnation of antisemitism,
protection of Jewish students and faculty, and stronger leadership from
American higher education institutions.”

Elise Remembers Service Members Killed In Afghanistan Withdrawal 3 Years Later


Thursday marked three years since the Biden-Harris Administration's disastrous
withdrawal from Afghanistan, which cost the lives of 13 American service
members. Elise had the opportunity to sit down with many of these Gold Star
families in Milwaukee before they addressed the Republican National Convention.


Elise stated on X –


"Today marks three years since the Biden-Harris Administration's colossal
failure in the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Americans must never forget the 13
service members who lost their lives and the Gold Star families they left
behind in this completely preventable tragedy. We honor their lives and their
sacrifices and we must continue to demand answers, transparency, and
accountability.

Kamala Harris was the last person in the room with Joe Biden when he made the
disastrous decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. Kamala Harris owns this
catastrophic withdrawal and proves just how incompetent, incapable, and
dangerous she would be as our nation's Commander-in-chief.

As the Representative for Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division in
Congress, I will continue to hold Joe Biden and Kamala Harris accountable for
this failure. I have demanded the Biden-Harris Administration declassify
documents pertaining to the catastrophic withdrawal because the American
people, especially our Gold Star Families, deserve the truth. The cost of Biden
and Harris' failed and reckless leadership is beyond measurable, leading to
lives lost and our adversaries being emboldened due to Joe Biden and Kamala
Harris' weakness and inability to lead.

Today we honor and never forget those 13 brave service members and their Gold
Star families. We must continue to deliver accountability."

Elise Pays Tribute to Upstate Media Personality Melody Burns


On Monday, it was reported that Melody Burns passed away following a prolonged
battle with cancer. Burns became a conservative icon in Upstate New York as a
host on Talk 1300 radio turned grassroots organizer. She was a passionate
advocate for our veteran community and dedicated countless hours of her time
coordinating benefits and drives. Melody was also renowned for her support of
the Constitution and our law enforcement officers.


Elise stated –


“This is very sad news. Melody Burns was a highly respected Upstate NYer who
was a tireless advocate for protecting our Constitution and honoring our
incredible veterans. My first ever public event as a candidate for Congress was
a rally led by Melody in Plattsburgh. She was so kind to invite me. Melody
touched countless lives - our prayers go out to her family, friends, and
devoted listeners.”
