Welcome back to Team Elise's weekly newsletter! We send a weekly note to
Elise's top 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!


Elise Launches SAVE NEW YORK PAC


Elise launched Save New York, a new New York State political action committee
to support Republican candidates across New York in 2025, and laying the
groundwork to save New York by firing Kathy Hochul in 2026.


This initiative builds upon Elise’s record of strategic grassroots
organizing, development of the most prolific small and high dollar fundraising
list of any Republican in the state ever, and candidate selection and support
to grow Republican representation throughout the Empire State.


Elise has raised tens of millions of dollars to support New York Republicans
in prior elections. Democrats have spent more money to defeat Elise than any
other Republican in the last decade. And she has delivered victory after
victory, winning not just Republican voters, but independent and Democrat
voters as well!


Elise stated —


“Kathy Hochul is the worst Governor in America and she is leading a failed
Democrat Party. After years of failed single party Democrat rule in New York,
it has never been more clear that we need strong, commonsense Republican
leadership in New York. Save New York will focus on supporting Republican
candidates and campaigns in local elections this November to build the
groundwork for 2026. I am proud of the strong support my political team has
developed over the past decade due to the generous support from New York voters
and donors who have built our political apparatus into a fundraising and
political juggernaut to deliver policies that benefit hardworking New York
families."

Elise Receives Staten Island GOP’s Lincoln Legacy Award


This week, Elise was the guest of honor at the Staten Island Republican
Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner, where she was honored with the Lincoln Legacy Award.

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis delivered a fantastic introduction, praising
Elise’s leadership and their shared commitment to hardworking families in New
York. The evening on Staten Island was filled with high energy and enthusiasm,
with notable guests, including 77 WABC radio host Sid Rosenberg and newly
elected New York City Councilman Frank Morano, in attendance.

This great Lincoln Day Dinner drew a packed crowd of energized supporters,
all reflecting a renewed hope for a stronger, safer, and more affordable New
York after beating Kathy Hochul and the Democrats in 2026.


Elise stated –


“We have the highest tax state in the nation under single-party Democrat rule
led by Kathy Hochul. We have sky-high regulations that are running small
businesses out of our state. We’re seeing an abysmal economic outlook.
Leadership matters. We are focused like a laser on putting New Yorkers first,
putting our constituents first, and delivering real results every day. That’s
what I’m known for in my district that’s what our next governor needs to be
known for, putting New Yorkers first. But we didn’t stop there. I don’t hide
from tough fights. When we run, we run to win. Democrats raised more money to
defeat me than any other Republican member of Congress on the East Coast. We
fought and we won. We out-raised them, we outworked them, and put up the
highest margin of any Republican in the Northeast. Are we ready to fire Kathy
Hochul next year in the State of New York?”


Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis stated –


“I believe that Elise Stefanik would make a great governor because she would
reinstate common sense, put public safety first, and make New York affordable
once again. Those are the things that Republicans, Democrats and Independents
are desperately seeking. We want to end New York’s disastrous one-party rule,
and she is our best shot to fire Kathy Hochul and get someone who will put New
York’s hardworking taxpayers first.”


Staten Island GOP Chairwoman Michael Tannousis stated –


“I’m happy that she came here today. We had a very strong showing of
Republicans in Staten Island, with a room packed full of people, and a lot of
support and enthusiasm for her, for President Trump and the Republican ideals
on Staten Island.”

Elise’s Statement on the Antisemitic Terrorist Attack in Boulder


Last weekend, our nation was shaken when a radical Islamic terrorist threw
Molotov cocktails at peaceful pro-Israel demonstrators holding a vigil for the
return of Hama’s hostages in Boulder, Colorado.


Elise condemns this violence in the strongest possible terms and will continue
calling for accountability and increased federal attention to the rising
antisemitic violence across the United States.


Elise stated –


“I am heartbroken watching the footage of the horrific attack in Boulder,
Colorado.

A peaceful group of pro-Israel demonstrators holding a vigil for the hostages
was reportedly attacked and set fire with Molotov cocktails by pro-Palestinian
terrorists.

This appears to be yet another act of antisemitic terrorism on U.S. soil. I’m
praying for the victims and will continue demanding that the criminals
responsible are brought to justice.”

Elise Joins Sid Rosenberg’s #1 New York Radio Show


Elise joined her good friend Sid Rosenberg this week on his #1 New York
morning radio show on 77 WABC, where the two discussed the current landscape of
New York politics, Elise’s record of flipping and defending tough districts,
and the growing grassroots momentum behind her potential run for New York
governor.


Elise stated –


“If we run Sid, I’m going to run to win. I do not run for second place, and
if you look back to when I first ran for Congress in 2014, that was quite a
long time ago. I’m the dean of the New York delegation, the longest serving New
York Republican member. We flipped the district. It was a district that was
held by a Democrat. It’s hard to remember because this is the North Country.

It was a Democrat that only won by a point or two. It was one of the mostly
contested districts in the nation that Republicans didn’t even win in 2010, and
there were few like that in New York State. We flipped that district by 20
points. What have we done since then? Democrats have sent more against me than
any other Republican in New York State, and yet we have continued to rise up
and outperform, winning independents and Democrats as well.

So this gubernatorial is not just about winning Republican voters it’s about
winning independents and peeling off Democrat voters as well and being able to
build a grassroots or action as well as a war chest to take on the desperation
of today’s Democrat party, which is totally rudderless, and Kathy Hochul is
just a failed candidate who does not excite voters even in her own Democratic
party, even for her own lieutenant governor.

So we are putting the pieces together. If we do this, this will be the most
well-funded, the most well organized statewide campaign since when we last won
with George Pataki."


Sid Rosenberg stated –


“A rock star. This is a tremendous congresswoman, selfless. Now we’re all
hoping and praying she runs for Governor. "

Elise on The Ben Shapiro Show


This week, Elise joined The Ben Shapiro Show to discuss launching the Save New
York PAC, fighting back against the worst governor in America Kathy Hochul’s
disastrous policies, and the best way to combat antisemitism on college
campuses.


Elise stated –


“Well, you talk about how it’s a Democratic stronghold and the result of
single-party, Democrat rule over the years. And in fact, I’ve seen this over
the course of my lifetime. You’ve seen absolutely no rule of law. You’ve seen
the release of criminals. You’ve seen putting illegals first, the highest taxed
state in the nation, the least friendly to small businesses. We lead the nation
in population exodus, and as a result, in the past few election cycles, no
state has moved more to the Republican direction than New York state.

If you look at President Trump’s performance in 2024 he did historically well
in communities in the Bronx and Queens, for example, than any other Republican
on the ballot. If you look at 2022, when Lee Zeldin was on the ballot, he came
within six points of defeating Kathy Hochul, who essentially is an accidental
governor.

What is interesting today, Ben, and very concerning is you saw the Democrat
mayoral primary last night, the debate, and it was the epitome of the just,
absolute challenges and catastrophe in today’s Democrat Party, every single
candidate has been on record for defunding the police. Every single Democrat
candidate has supported failed bail reform, which, of course, caused this crime
crisis and the skyrocketing of danger in New York State.

The polling shows that over 60% of New Yorkers want to elect someone new, and
if you look at voter registration, it is increasingly Republican. So there is a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save New York once and for all, and that
starts at the local level. As you know, I’ve been in office.

This is my 11th year in Congress. I flipped a district. We win not only
Republicans, but Democrats and independents as well, and we’ve built up this
local infrastructure and grassroots flipping multiple counties in my district.
We’re hoping to do that across the state to lay the groundwork for next year to
fire Kathy Hochul once and for all."

Elise Honors Our D-Day Heroes


81 years ago today, the heroes of the Greatest Generation stormed the beaches
of Normandy to defend freedom and defeat tyranny. The opening day of the Battle
of Normandy, saw men from NY-21, specifically the 299th Engineer Combat
Battalion, participate in the Allied invasion of France. This battalion,
comprised entirely of New Yorkers, was among the first American soldiers to
land on Omaha Beach.

We honor their courage, sacrifice, and the legacy they left for future
generations.

June 6, 1944 — D-DAY 🇺🇸
