| Happy Sunday – we hope you are enjoying your weekend! | | 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 Makes Stops in Oneida County Newly Redistricted into NY-21 | | On Thursday, Elise joined Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente and local elected officials for a series of events including meetings with local officials, a tour of Rome Health, and a rally with supporters.
Earlier this week Elise announced she has earned a record-high 52 endorsements from Oneida County elected officials including Republicans, Conservatives, Democrats, and Independents with endorsements from every town in the county. | | “Thank you to our volunteers and supporters from our events today in Rome! I am excited to earn the support of Oneida county voters who are newly drawn into NY-21. Lots of energy as we head into the final 34 days of the election to Save America!” | | Following the tour of Rome Health, Elise posted on X – | | “Great to visit Rome Health in Oneida County to learn about this important hospital to families in the region. It is an incredible success story of expanding access to care with a focus on primary, maternity, and specialty care. I look forward to working with the team at this hospital and local elected officials to deliver results for Upstate hospitals and healthcare.” | | After meeting with local leaders, Elise went to see the damage in Rome caused by tornadoes earlier this year. She stated – | | “Today I participated in a local and county elected roundtable in Rome hosted by Oneida County Executive Tony Picente at the great DeSalvo Restaurant. We discussed economic development, crime, agriculture, healthcare, and other county issues. I then toured with the Rome Mayor to see damage from the tornado and I am committed to helping work through FEMA for resources.” | | Elise Serves as Team Trump Surrogate at Vice Presidential Debate | | On Tuesday, Elise had a front row seat to JD Vance’s resounding victory over Tim Walz at the Vice Presidential debate in New York City. As a Team Trump surrogate, Elise spent the evening in the pre- and post-debate spin room reminding the mainstream media that Donald Trump and JD Vance are speaking to the issues that matter most to everyday Americans. | | Following the debate Elise stated – | | “Tonight was an absolutely dominating victory for JD Vance over radical Far Left Democrat Tim Walz. Senator Vance shared his extraordinary personal story with the American people, one that resonates with so many hard working American families who feel left behind because of the failed policies of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
Senator Vance laid out an America First plan with President Trump’s successful border and economic policies, exposed the failed woke agenda of Kamala Harris, and held the biased moderators accountable for attempting to prop up the flailing Tim Walz. Senator Vance’s dominating performance in this final debate sets up the Trump-Vance ticket for momentum heading into the final weeks of the election this November.” | | Watch Elise’s segment on ABC News here.
Watch Elise’s segment on BBC News here. | | Prior to the debate, Elise joined Carl Higbie on Newsmax where she discussed how only a Trump-Vance administration can save America and fix what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris broke over the last three and a half years. Earlier in the day, she joined CBS Mornings to discuss new presidential polls, the issues that matter most to Americans, and her expectations for JD Vance’s debate performance. | | See Elise’s post here and watch her Newsmax segment here.

As the Representative of NY-21, I have seen firsthand the destruction caused to our communities by this crisis Democrats created. While Far Left Democrats put the interests of illegal immigrants over Americans, House Republicans are fighting to return to the border policies of President Trump, who created the most secure border in history.” ative of New York’s 21st Congressional District and the Co-Chair of the Congressional Battlefield Caucus.” | | Elise Responds to Iranian Ballistic Missile Attack on Israel | | Yet again, Iran attempted to eviscerate Israel by launching hundreds of ballistic missiles throughout the night. Fortunately, the overwhelming majority of these missiles were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome and David’s Sling defense systems and additional support from American naval assets deployed in the region. Elise joined Martha MacCallum on Fox News to discuss the attack and the continuing escalation by Iran and its terrorist proxies. | | In a post on X Elise stated – | | “House Republicans stand with our most precious ally Israel as they face an unprecedented direct attack from Iran. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ catastrophically weak leadership has consistently emboldened Iran through sanctions relief and a desperate attempt to return to the failed Iran nuclear deal. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ weakness on the world stage has encouraged and funded this abhorrent missile attack. What the world desperately needs is the strong leadership of President Trump and support for Israel from the United States along with the reimposition of Trump’s effective maximum pressure campaign against Iran. Our prayers are with our ally Israel at this perilous time.” | | House Republican Leadership Joint Statement – | | This attack comes days after Israel eliminated Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and other leaders of the Iranian terrorist proxy organization. When news broke of Nasrallah’s death, Elise released a joint statement with her fellow House Republican Leaders Mike Johnson, Steve Scalise, and Tom Emmer. | | The joint statement reads – | | “Hassan Nasrallah’s reign of bloodshed, oppression, and terror has been brought to an end. A puppet of the Iranian regime, he was one of the most brutal terrorists on the planet, and a coward who hid behind women and children to carry out his attacks. Thanks to the brave men and women of the Israeli military, justice was delivered for Israeli victims of his heinous crimes, their families, and the United States. The world is better off without him.
We call on the Biden-Harris Administration to end its counter-productive calls for a cease-fire and its ongoing diplomatic pressure campaign against Israel. Nasrallah’s death is a major step forward for the Middle East, and today’s victory for peace and security should be used to reassert America’s ironclad support for Israel as it fights for its very right to exist.” | | Following Nasrallah’s death, the mainstream media failed to accurately report his record of virulent antisemitism and depraved terrorist acts against innocents around the world. This is yet another example of the real-world consequences of the moral decay perpetuated by our higher education system. | | Elise exposed the mainstream media’s depravity in a statement on X – | | “"The moral depravity of failed mainstream media outlets is on full display in their disgustingly glorifying eulogies of Hezbollah terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah. It is beyond comprehension that outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, The New Yorker, and Associated Press would idolize Nasrallah's reign of terror which was responsible for the slaughter of thousands of Americans, Israelis, and innocents around the world including Muslims. His death is delayed justice for the countless families destroyed through his terror and bloodshed. The pathetic pandering of the radical Left's stenographers in the mainstream media to these radical terrorists exposes a broken press plagued by the same antisemitic rot infiltrating other failed institutions. These reporters and their outlets should be ashamed." | | Elise Hits the Airwaves Across the Country to Get Out the Vote for President Trump | | Elise joined radio shows in swing states throughout the country to highlight President Trump’s strong America First vision, his record of success against the failures of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and the Republican plan to finally secure our borders and reverse the inflation crisis. Last Friday, she joined the Alan Stock Show in Las Vegas, the Dom Giordano Show in Philadelphia and the Billy Harfosh show in Arizona. On Tuesday, she spoke with Fox News’ Guy Benson ahead of the Vice Presidential debate. | | Listen to Elise’s segment on The Alan Stock Show here.

Elise wished Shana Tova to all celebrating across NY-21 and around the world. | | “Shana Tova to all those in NY-21 and around the world who celebrate. Rosh Hashanah is a joyous occasion, however we will never forget the brutal terrorist acts of October 7th and in more recent days, the deeply reprehensible Iranian launched attacks against Israel. The world must stand with Israel in this most important new year. The light will prevail.” | | Elise Continues to Earn Record Endorsements from Local Elected Officials in Franklin, Oneida, and Herkimer Counties | | This week, Elise earned record high endorsements from Republicans, Conservatives, Democrats, and Independents in Franklin, Oneida, and Herkimer counties. This is the second consecutive year where Elise set a record for endorsements and in Herkimer and Oneida counties she earned endorsements from officials in every town in the counties. | | “I’m grateful for the endorsements of these 56 Franklin County Republican, Conservative, Independent, and Democrat local elected officials. I will continue to work with local officials of all parties to deliver results for hardworking Upstate and North Country families.” | | “I’m grateful for the support and endorsement of these Oneida County leaders. It has been an honor to work with each of them on bipartisan issues to help North Country families. I continue to work with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to deliver real results for my constituents. I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for my re-election campaign, and look forward to our landslide victory in Oneida County!” | | “I’m honored to earn record support of 115 elected officials in Herkimer County, including Republicans, Conservatives, Independents, and Democrats AND endorsements from every town in Herkimer County. I look forward to working with public servants from all political parties to deliver real results for the hardworking families of Upstate New York and the North Country.” | | Elise Calls Out Kamala Democrats for Lawfare | | On Wednesday, Elise called out Kamala Democrats for their latest election interference through unprecedented and illegal lawfare against President Trump. | | “After a monumental legal defeat at the Supreme Court in June, the corrupt Biden-Harris Justice Department and a partisan DC Obama judge are making their last desperate attempt to interfere in the 2024 presidential election with their unprecedented, one-sided 165-page trial-by-paper of President Trump. The polls show the American people clearly understand this is blatant illegal Democrat lawfare and election interference by Kamala Harris’ supporters. It will fail on November 5, when the American people vote to send President Trump back to the White House." | | Antisemitic UNRWA Admits to Employing Hamas Leader | | On Monday, Elise responded to the news that the morally corrupt UNRWA, which she and Republicans have raised alarms about for years, admitted it had employed the head of Hamas forces in Lebanon, Fateh Sherif. | | “UNRWA’s confirmation that the head of Hamas forces in Lebanon, Fateh Sherif, was their employee is the latest proof that the United Nations has become a cesspool of antisemitism. President Trump rightfully cut off taxpayer dollars from funding UNRWA while Joe Biden and Kamala Harris outrageously reversed this decision and provided funding for an organization whose employees directly participated in the October 7th terrorist attacks against our most precious ally Israel. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris must permanently cut off UNRWA funding, revoke its tax-exempt status, and provide oversight of every U.S. dollar the UN receives.” | - Politico: ‘Cult of corruption’: Stefanik tears into Dems after Eric Adams indictment
