| Happy Sunday – we hope you are enjoying your weekend! | | Welcome back to Team Elise's weekly newsletter! We send a weekly note to Elise's supporters to update you 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! | | NORTHERN BORDER NIGHTMARE | | For nearly 4 years, the North Country and border communities across the United States have been dealing with the consequences of Open Border Czar Kamala Harris' failed open border policies. The rest of the country must see the nightmares North Country residents endure daily because of the Biden-Harris Administration's failures. Since holding a round table with families that live on the Northern Border in Franklin and Clinton counties, Elise has yet again been sounding the alarm on these horrible conditions – and showing everyone just how bad it has gotten with actual footage. | | On Saturday, Elise shared trail cam footage of illegal immigrants crossing through a constituent’s property. First responders and law enforcement receive videos like this every day. Towns in Clinton County have been dealing with more than 100 illegal crossings a week for months - and those are only the ones we know about. | | On Monday, Elise shared another clip from her round table where a resident shared that her 92 year old neighbor has been terrified ever since a migrant broke into his home. She said “This isn’t the America we had under Trump, it’s not the America we even had under Obama at this point. This is beyond anything I thought this country would ever be.” | | On Tuesday, Elise shared the story of a constituent who had a known coyote break into his home after evading Border Patrol. He held the man at gunpoint for more than 30 minutes until law enforcement arrived. Another woman shared that she has to sleep with a gun under her bed to feel safe in what used to be a quiet, picturesque town. | | On Thursday, the House Committee on Homeland Security published a report on foiled terror plots in the United States. In more than 29 states, the Department of Homeland Security arrested illegal aliens who were coordinating with groups like ISIS, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda. | | See Elise’s post here.

Glenn Grothman to highlight educational choice and opportunity and President Trump’s commitment to expanding school choice and educational opportunity so that every child in America can get the highest quality education and that parents are the primary decision-makers. Vote Trump to Save America! ❤️ " | | Stop #2: Energizing voters at the Trump 47 Headquarters in Grafton, WI! | | Chairwoman Stefanik stated – | | "Great stop in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin with Team Trump as we work to build momentum to get out the vote! We focused on educational choice and how President Donald Trump is the ONLY candidate who will deliver educational opportunity and excellence for children and who supports Parents!!! Thank you to the dedicated volunteers and staff working hard to WIN Wisconsin to Save America! 🇺🇸" | | Elise Announces MASSIVE Q3 Fundraising Haul | | On Tuesday, Elise announced that her incredible supporters put the Q3 fundraising total over $8.5 million with an average donation of 20 dollars from over 85,000 different grassroots donors, bringing the cycle-to-date total over $35 million, with millions transferred to GOP efforts nationwide. This was the last FEC filing before the election, and Elise was among the top fundraisers once again, thanks to the support of so many hardworking Americans. | | In a post on X, Elise stated – | | “We are in the final sprint to earn every vote to Save America and Save New York!
I'm proud to announce that Team Elise has raised over $8.5 million in Q3 of 2024 with an average donation of $20 to my campaign from over 85,000 unique donors.
Thank you to all of the hardworking supporters of Team Elise!
Team Elise has now raised over $35 million cycle to date with millions transferred to the NRCC, millions raised directly for candidates, and millions for my New York Republican battleground effort.
21 days to elect President [Donald Trump], flip the Senate, grow the House Majority to Save America!” | | 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. | | "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." | | Elise Calls Out Columbia University and Biden-Harris Administration For Failing to Combat Antisemitism | | On Tuesday, Elise and Senator Joni Ernst (IA) sent a joint letter to the FBI, demanding an investigation into anti-Israel organizations at Columbia University. Members of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest coalition have repeatedly advocated for violent resistance and praised Hamas’ terrorist attacks against innocent civilians. Jewish students can no longer rely on Columbia to keep them safe, as the administration is still refusing to hold their antisemitic peers accountable. | | In a post on X, Elise stated – | | “No more excuses.
[Columbia] failed to protect Jewish students.
We can not allow these ‘elite’ universities to hide from responsibility and continue failing to enforce rules against violence.” | | See Elise’s post here and read more about it in The Jewish Voice News here. | | On Wednesday, Palestinian Authority representatives continued their efforts to expel Israel from the United Nations by challenging Israel’s diplomatic credentials. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield have all refused to comment on the situation. | | “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ weak leadership and inexcusable silence in the face of constant antisemitic attacks on Israel’s right to exist has directly incentivized the Palestinian Authority to try to expel Israel from the UN General Assembly. Should the Palestinian Authority succeed in their antisemitic pursuit, it would result in a complete reassessment of U.S. funding of the United Nations.
American taxpayers have no interest in continuing to fund an organization that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have allowed to rot with antisemitism. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris must immediately and forcefully reject this antisemitic attempt to weaken and isolate Israel. They must take the names of any country supporting this blatantly immoral effort and make clear the position of the United States - the UN’s single largest source of funding.” | | Elise Celebrates Columbus Day | | On Monday, Elise shared a photo with Majority Leader Steve, Congressman Mike Lawler, and future Congressman Mike Haridopolos to celebrate Columbus Day. This particular statue has a story to go along with it – Violent leftist protesters tore down the Christopher Columbus statue in Richmond, VA, and Congressman Lawler and his friends of the Sons of Italy Lodge worked to recover it and give it a new home in NY-19. | | In a post on X, Elise stated – | | “Columbus Day serves as a representation of the contributions made by Italian Americans to this country, as well as a reminder of the challenges they encountered upon their arrival in the United States. NY Republicans are proud to represent so many Italian Americans all across New York!” | | See Elise’s Columbus Day posts here and here. | | Elise Visits Saratoga Battlefield | | This week marked the 247th Anniversary of the Battles of Saratoga, the turning point of the American Revolution! On Sunday, Elise and her family visited Saratoga National Historical Park to tour the Siege Weekend exhibits presented by the American Battlefield Trust and Saratoga County’s 250th Anniversary Commission. | | In a post on X, Elise stated – | | “Incredible weekend in Saratoga County for [the 250th Anniversary Commission] - our family visited some of the exhibits on both Saturday and Sunday!!!
Appreciate the entire dedicated Saratoga team who made this Saratoga Siege weekend a huge success - rain or shine! [American Battlefield Trust]” | | President Trump Is Ahead in EVERY Swing State and Holding a Historic Rally at Madison Square Garden | | 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 two weeks to deliver a historic victory on November 5th! | | Elise Joins Talk of the Town | | On Thursday, Elise joined Talk of the Town, a Utica-based radio station, to discuss the new NY-21 district lines and the real results she’s already delivered to hardworking families in Oneida County! | | Elise Earns the Endorsement of Clinton and Jefferson County Elected Officials | | On Monday, Elise announced that her re-election campaign earned the endorsement of 48 local elected officials in Clinton County, including Democrats and Independents! | | Clinton County Board of Legislators Chairman Mark Henry said – | | “I am gladly endorsing Congresswoman Stefanik’s re-election because she has a solid record of delivering results for Clinton County and the North Country. As Co-Chair of the Northern Border Caucus, she’s giving our communities the voice we need in Washington D.C. She’s helped the North Country strengthen its economic partnerships with Canadian business and put us on the path for long term job growth.” | | “I’m thankful to earn the support and endorsement of these 48 incredible local elected officials in Clinton County. Clinton County families know that I have and will continue to work tirelessly to deliver real results for our community. I look forward to working with anyone who has our communities’ best interests in mind, regardless of party, to deliver for North Country and Upstate New York families, small businesses, veterans, and seniors.” | | On Thursday, 32 elected officials in Jefferson County endorsed Elise’s re-election. Again, she earned endorsements from Republicans, Conservatives, Democrats, and Independents in every town in NY-21! | | Jefferson County Board of Legislators Vice Chairman Patrick Jareo said – | | “I appreciate what Elise has done for the North Country. She is a strong advocate for the military and Fort Drum. She truly cares and is effective in promoting what is important to my constituents in Jefferson County.” | | “I am extremely grateful to have earned endorsements from great local elected leaders in Jefferson County. Jefferson County families know that I have a proven track record of delivering results for them in Congress, including our brave men and women serving at Fort Drum. As Fort Drum’s chief advocate, I will always fight for them at the highest levels of our federal government.” | | Elise Joins Matt Boyle On Breitbart News Saturday | | This week, Elise joined Matt Boyle on Breitbart News Saturday to discuss the importance of November’s election and how Republicans in blue states like California and New York are picking up more congressional seats. Hardworking Americans feeling the double whammy of failed Democrat policies at both the state and national levels are fired up to Save America by sending Trump back to the White House! | | 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, Elise 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.” | | See Elise’s posts here and here.
