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!


Responding to the Second Assassination Attempt on President Trump


At Wednesday’s House Republican press conference, Elise called out Far Left
Democrats for pushing rhetoric that has contributed to political violence and
two assassination attempts against President Trump. She challenged the national
media to start holding Democrats accountable for their reckless statements.
Elise also raised questions about the lack of protection allowing two dangerous
would-be assassins to get close to President Trump.


Elise stated –


"I am grateful to hear that President Trump is safe following today's reported
assassination attempt in Florida. I join in thanks for our hardworking law
enforcement officers working to keep President Trump, his family, and his team
safe.

However, we must ask ourselves how an assassin was allowed to get this close
to President Trump again? There continues to be a lack of answers for the
horrific assassination attempt in Pennsylvania and we expect there to be a
clear explanation of what happened today in Florida.

Thankfully, God continues to watch over President Trump. As Americans we must
unite behind him in November to protect our republic and bring peace back to
the world."

access, fire protection, restoring cross border travel, jobs and affordable
housing issues, and funding for safer drinking water,”Ticonderoga Town
Supervisor Mark Wright said. “In understanding the importance of our area’s
historic past to our future potential, Elise has supported us while also on a
national level continuing to fight for the rights of all Americans on issues
such as our sacred 2nd Amendment rights. Our region is vast in area but small
in population, but we have a right to be heard. With Elise as our voice, our
smaller Adirondack and North Country communities are finally heard. Elise

21st Congressional District and we look forward to working with her to further
support law enforcement officers and their families."

Congress fighting for our law enforcement!"

"As the oldest and largest national association of law enforcement
professionals with over 20,000 members statewide, we have based our endorsement
upon your demonstrated and continued support of police professionals. Further,
as police professionals who most experience and witness the trauma and effects
of criminal behavior wrecked upon our fellow citizens, we understand, all too
well, the significance of dedicated public servants as Congresswoman Elise
Stefanik who possess the courage and compassion to promote the confidence in
our government and courts."

Elise Earns Friend of Farm Bureau Award


On Wednesday, the New York Farm Bureau honored Elise with their 2024 Friend of
Farm Bureau Award in recognition of her tireless advocacy on behalf of North
Country farmers.

<>

Elise stated –


I am honored to receive the Friend of Farm Bureau Award in recognition of my
advocacy for the essential needs of our incredibly hardworking farmers,
growers, and producers in Upstate New York and the North Country. This
Congress, I voted to pass the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act in the House to
ensure our children have access to flavored and unflavored whole milk in
school, countered Joe Biden’s restrictions on WIC families’ access to
nutritional milk and dairy products by introducing the Protecting Mothers and
Infants’ Access to Milk Act, and protected egg producers and the quality of
their products by combating the unfair practice of mislabeled imitation egg
products using the term “egg” on their product labels with my bill, the
Consistent Egg Labels Act. I will proudly continue working on behalf of our
Upstate New York and North Country farmers who are the backbone of our
communities.

that my legislation renaming our battlefields “Saratoga National Battlefield
Park” advanced through committee to more accurately reflect the historical
significance of the site and emphasize the crucial military engagements that
took place there. As Co-Chair of the Congressional Battlefield Caucus, it is my
great honor to champion the preservation of our many battlefields and historic
sites in Upstate New York, the North Country, and across the nation.”

Elise Speaks Out Against Antisemitism On College Campuses


Rutgers University Arrests Veteran for Opposing Terrorism


On Monday, news broke that an Army veteran law student at Rutgers University
was arrested for posting anti-terrorism flyers on campus. University
administrators deemed his speech inflammatory and demanded he take the flyers
down. However, the school allowed the pro-terrorist encampments to remain.


In a post on X, Elise said –


“[Rutgers] allowed a pro-Hamas mob to take over campus without repercussions,
yet punishes and attempts to silence a veteran for standing with America and
against antisemitism. This is disgusting, unacceptable, and we must have
accountability.”


Elise also stated –


“Jonathan Holloway must resign in disgrace immediately for allowing
antisemitic mobs to repeatedly target and threaten the safety of Jewish
students, surrendering to the pro-Hamas encampment on campus, and continuing to
employ antisemitic and terror-supporting faculty and staff.”


On Tuesday evening, president Jonathan Holloway announced that he would be
leaving Rutgers University at the end of the academic year.

Harvard Refuses to Cooperate with Investigation of Antisemitic Assault


On Wednesday, Elise and House Education Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx
(NC) released a letter chastising Harvard University president Alan Garber for
refusing to cooperate with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s investigation
of the October 2023 protest where a Jewish student was assaulted. The
Committee’s probe into Harvard’s actions revealed that university police
refused to investigate this event further or search for any inculpatory or
exculpatory evidence as requested. Elise and Chairwoman Foxx demanded that
Harvard produce the remainder of the documents subpoenaed by the Committee
before the end of September.


In a post on X, Elise stated –


“I am disgusted by [Harvard’s] incessant protection of antisemitism and brazen
obstruction of law enforcements’ efforts to bring much needed accountability to
campus.”

Elise Introduces Securing Infrastructure from Adversaries Act


On Friday September 13th, Elise introduced the Securing Infrastructure from
Adversaries Act alongside Congressman Dusty Johnson (SD) and Chairman John
Moolenaar (MI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.
This legislation would prevent the Department of Transportation from utilizing
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) mapping systems produced by companies
associated with the Chinese Communist Party. Elise and the House Republicans
are united in protecting U.S. national security and curbing Communist China’s
unfair trade practices.


Elise stated –


“The U.S. cannot rely on Communist China for emerging critical technologies
such as LiDAR. Unsecure LiDAR produced by our greatest strategic adversary
jeopardizes our national security and undermines the competitiveness of
American companies. I am proud to join Congressman Dusty Johnson and Chairman
John Moolenaar in introducing legislation to root out Communist
Chinese-manufactured LiDAR from the United States.”
