Good Afternoon!

Thank you for being a steadfast supporter of the House GOP Battleground Fund, the tip of the spear for New York’s victory efforts.

As you know, this very important effort is led by House GOP Chairwoman and Upstate Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to protect the 'battleground' congressional seats in New York State which will determine who controls Congress.

We appreciate your continued support and wanted to share a few big updates for the week:

We are just 17 days away from Election Day – which means that we are all hands on deck, and every Republican is campaigning hard to ensure we SAVE AMERICA and SAVE NEW YORK!

New York WILL once again decide the majority in Congress!

We need help from supporters like you to help us PROTECT and EXPAND our House Republican majority. We cannot allow Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Kathy Hochul to destroy our country or our state with their Radical Far Left Agenda!

The House Battleground Fund is the tip of the spear in this fight.

We are:

• Deploying staff around New York 

• Building the largest Get Out The Vote Operation in New York History

• Centralizing data across New York State

• Educating Voters on In-Person Early Voting

• Holding the Democrats accountable for their attempts to change election laws

To keep doing this, we need your support!

YOU CAN VOTE NOW IN NEW YORK STATE

The Republican Majority in Congress runs through New York! Races are tight everywhere and we need every Republican to VOTE!

Republicans must take advantage of VOTING by every legal method.

In New York, you can now request a Vote-by-Mail Ballot!

The only way to prevent Democrats from cheating and stealing this election is for every Republican to swamp the VOTE and make the MAGA movement TOO BIG TO RIG!

President Trump Is Ahead in EVERY Swing State and Holding another SOLD OUT Rally in NYC

On Monday, newly released national polls showed President Trump ahead in every key swing state! Later that evening, President Trump announced he’ll be coming back to New York to host a rally at Madison Square Garden on October 27th. The Trump Train is picking up steam and the Democrats are PANICKING. Republicans are in striking distance in New York for the first time since 1984, and our grassroots teams across the state will be working non-stop for the next three weeks to deliver a historic victory on November 5th!

Kamala Harris Proves She Is Unfit to Lead

Kamala Harris had just had one of the worst weeks of her political career. In every interview, she shrugged accountability for the failures of the Biden-Harris Administration and could not provide a direct answer to even the simplest of questions. On The View, she couldn’t name any specific solutions to the border crisis enacted by the Administration and then blamed Congress for failing to do more. She claimed to have been steadfast at Biden’s side throughout her tenure in the White House, but refused to speak on his decline when pressed by Bret Baier. The mainstream media can’t run any more coverage for Harris’ weakness and the American people can see it clear as day.

In a post on X, Chairwoman Stefanik stated –

"Every time Kamala Harris speaks the American people see how unfit she is to be Commander-in-chief. Her disastrous performance tonight with [Bret Baier] put on full display her lying to the American people and blatant refusal to take accountability for the crises SHE created."

Israel Eliminates Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar

On Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces conducted a ground operation in Gaza in which they eliminated Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas and mastermind of the October 7 attacks.

Chairwoman Stefanik stated –

"Today is a historic day of justice for the Jewish people, the state of Israel, and humanity worldwide. Yahya Sinwar, an embodiment of pure evil and the barbarian leader of Hamas who was the mastermind of the October 7th atrocities has been eliminated.

During Yahya Sinwar’s October 7th attack, Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists slaughtered over 1,200 innocent civilians, including 46 Americans, and took over 250 Israeli civilians hostage, over 100 of which remain hostage today. Israel’s elimination of Sinwar has made the world safer by taking out an evil terrorist leader that sought the destruction of both Israel and the United States.

Israel has every right to continue to eliminate the Iranian-backed terrorist organization, secure the release of every hostage, and protect their sovereignty. The United States must stand strong with Israel as it fights for its very existence and stands as a beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle East."

In a post on X, Mike Lawler (NY-17) stated – 

"Good riddance to a mass murderer and hostage-taker, who was the head of Hamas.

Let this be a clear message to all terrorist groups and Iranian proxies in the Middle East - the United States and Israel will find you, and we will eliminate you. Be warned."

In a post on X, Alison Esposito (Candidate for NY-18) stated – 

"The world is a safer place"

National Border Patrol Council Endorses Alison Esposito for NY-18

This past week, the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), whose union represents over 90% of Border Patrol agents, endorsed Alison Esposito for Congress in New York’s 18th Congressional District.

NBPC President Paul Perez stated – 

"Alison Esposito will be a strong leader in Congress who will work to secure our borders and stand up for law enforcement and the brave men and women of the NBPC. With nearly 25 years in the NYPD, Alison understands the issues faced by those who serve in law enforcement and the challenges and difficulties of doing the job. Now more than ever we need leaders in Congress who will fight to restore law and order, ensure we have the resources to secure our border and protect our neighborhoods."

Thank you for reading this week.

House Republicans are the 'last line of defense' in holding the Biden Administration accountable for their failures, and no one is fighting harder than the congressional delegation from New York.

In 2022, we elected FIVE new Republicans in battleground congressional seats. These gains secured the GOP House Majority last cycle – and we are responsible for protecting these seats in 2024.

We greatly appreciate your investment in our House GOP Battleground Fund. We are on the front lines of New York's grassroots and field efforts; this newsletter is our way to keep you posted on our efforts. We hope you continue to support this very critical effort.

Please contact our team at [email protected] if you have any questions or want to get more involved.

Sincerely,

– Team Elise & the House GOP Battleground Fund Team 

We need your help. Can you contribute today directly to the GOP House Battleground Fund?
