Good Afternoon!

Thank you for being a loyal supporter of the House GOP Battleground Fund - the driving force behind Republican victories across New York!

As you know, this vital effort, led by House GOP Leadership Chairwoman and proud Upstate Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, is focused on flipping and defending key battleground congressional seats right here in New York - critical seats that decide the balance of power in Congress.

We’re grateful for your continued support and wanted to share a few important updates from this week:

Chairwoman Stefanik Stands Up for NY Dairy Farmers

This week, House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik stood up for New York dairy farmers who are under attack from New York Democrats, calling out harmful legislation that threatens the livelihood of family farms and the stability of the state’s food supply. 

Stefanik reaffirmed her commitment to defending New York’s agricultural heritage and ensuring future generations can continue to farm without government overreach.

House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik stated -

"Kathy Hochul and NY Democrats have engaged in a multi year attack on New York farms causing a mass exodus of small businesses and farms closures across our great state. Unlike Kathy Hochul, New Yorkers understand that agriculture is the backbone of our state’s economy and the accessibility and affordability of nutritional food for families. New York Democrats must stop their attack on multi-generational, locally rooted dairy farms that feed families all across our state. The Democrats’ latest anti-farm bill would block new permits for dairy farms in our communities and dismantle our healthy, natural food supply.

New Yorkers are proud to be recognized as an agricultural powerhouse as a state, and I will continue to fight for hardworking farms and all the New York families that consume our local agriculture products."

Chairwoman Stefanik Calls for Review of Truman Foundation’s Scholarship Selections

This week, House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik called on the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation to thoroughly review the political imbalance in the selection process for scholarships.

The taxpayer funded foundation, of which Chairwoman Stefanik is a Board Member, awarded a scholarship to one of the Harvard students who co-authored that institution’s disreputable letter saying that Israel was "entirely responsible" for the October 7th, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack in Israel.

Chairwoman Stefanik is demanding full transparency and accountability to ensure that the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation does not become politicized at the expense of its mission and doesn’t reward those who defend or excuse acts of terrorism.

House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik stated -

"I was excited when I was recently appointed to serve as a Board Member of the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation.

Unfortunately, today it has come to my attention that one of the 2025 recipients of the Harry S. Truman Scholarship funded by American taxpayers is a pro-Hamas, antisemitic student who was one of the authors of the disgraced Harvard letter saying that Israel was ‘entirely responsible’ for the Hamas attack that slaughtered 

over 1,200 innocent people and kidnapped over 250.

This scholarship must be rescinded and I am calling for a full review of 

the political imbalance in the scholarship selections.

This does NOT reflect American values for a scholarship program funded by hardworking U.S. taxpayers nor does it reflect the values of Harry S. Truman who was the first U.S. President to recognize the state of Israel."

President Trump Endorses Andrew Garbarino for Reelection

President Trump just endorsed Rep. Andrew Garbarino for reelection in New York’s 2nd Congressional District! Andrew has been a strong voice for Long Island who always puts America First, supports our law enforcement officers on the street and at the border, and helped secure the SALT deal in the Big Beautiful Bill passed last week. 

With President Trump’s unwavering support and endorsement, Andrew is ready to continue his work fighting for American families in New York’s 2nd!

House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik stated -

"My New York colleague and friend Andrew Garbarino was deeply integral to delivering significant tax relief for New Yorkers in President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill as a leader in absolutely all the policy negotiations.  We would not have gotten this done without his hard work over many years. He will continue to be a leader in our New York Republican delegation, and as this bill works through the process and President Trump signs it into law, Andrew will be fighting for New Yorkers right alongside his colleagues."

Chairwoman Stefanik’s Full Remarks at Yeshiva University’s 2025 Commencement Ceremony

Last week, Chairwoman Stefanik was proud to accept Yeshiva University’s prestigious Presidential Medallion for Global Leadership, presented by Yeshiva’s President Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman, in recognition of her steadfast support for the U.S.-Israel alliance, her principled leadership on the world stage, and her unwavering commitment to religious liberty and American values.

House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik stated -

"Thank you very much to Rabbi Berman, whom I had the chance to hear deliver a beautiful and moving benediction at President Trump’s inauguration. Thank you to the Board of Yeshiva: I am truly honored to receive the Presidential Medallion from an institution I deeply admire. It is humbling to be associated with those recipients who have led with moral clarity, served this institution with distinction, and have used their gifts to defend our most precious ally Israel.

Class of 2025, you have had a safer, richer and deeper experience than most over the last 4 years because you chose this special University to attend.

As you go forward, carry with you the values that have guided this great institution and the ideals that are the foundation of our nation. Not only accept the responsibilities, but the moral obligations that come with membership in this grand American experiment in our Constitutional Republic.

I ask you to use the education you received here at Yeshiva, along with the unbreakable traditions and faith that you learned in your homes, and join me in the fight to restore our country to a place of light, moral clarity, and liberty and dignity enshrined in our Constitution."
