| 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 Champions Bipartisan Workforce Pell Act Passing in One Big Beautiful Bill | | “I am proud to have led on expanding learning opportunities for the development of a skilled American workforce. The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill allows Pell Grants to be used for high-quality short-term programs that will help more Americans fill critical workforce gaps. Unlocking skills and development opportunities will help link workers with high-demand career fields in New York State and across the United States." | | American Trucking Associations SVP of Legislative Affairs Henry Hanscom stated – | | “Helping more qualified drivers get behind the wheel is essential to ensuring our industry can continue to deliver the nation’s freight safely and efficiently. By expanding Pell Grant flexibility to make short-term educational programs eligible, the Big Beautiful Bill will open the door of opportunity to more young people seeking rewarding, good-paying careers in trucking. ATA commends Congress for passing this important fix, and we thank Rep. Stefanik for her longstanding support of this effort to reduce barriers to one of the few professions that can provide a middle-class lifestyle without the time and expense of a four-year college degree.” | | Business Roundtable Vice President of Education & Workforce Donald McIntosh stated – | | “Business Roundtable commends the inclusion of Workforce Pell Grants provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Expanding Pell Grant eligibility to include high-quality, short-term training programs will help more Americans develop in-demand skills and fill critical workforce gaps." | | Elise Calls Out CUNY Chancellor for Attempting to Back Out from Hearing on Higher Ed Antisemitism AGAIN | | “I am preparing for the upcoming July 15th Committee on Education & Workforce Hearing on Antisemitism in Higher Education: Examining the Role of Faculty, Funding, and Ideology with the presidents of Georgetown & Berkeley and look forward to holding them accountable for the rot of antisemitism permeating their campuses.
Unfortunately, CUNY Chancellor Felix Matos Rodriguez is for the third time attempting to back out of testifying.
Chancellor Rodriguez, please confirm your attendance immediately with the other college presidents to testify - and I would be remiss if I did not remind you that Congressional Republicans have subpoena authority and have used it extensively in our higher education investigations." | | Elise Requests DNI Director Gabbard Expedite a National Security Review of Chinese Drone Manufacturers | | “Chinese Communist drones present a significant risk to U.S. national security. With the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, I asked the Director of National Intelligence to expedite a national security review of Chinese drone manufacturers. I will continue to lead the effort in Congress to expand U.S. drone manufacturing.” | | SAVE NEW YORK: Elise Responds to Hochul’s Failed Leadership Costing NY Taxpayers $100 Million on Bridge Light Project | | Read the CBS 6 Albany article here | | Elise Agrees with Transportation Sec. Duffy: Hochul’s Subway System is DANGEROUS! | | Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy stated – | | “It’s dangerous to ride the subway in New York…. This is a war on middle Americans, working Americans who have to ride the subway. And these people (Hochul) don’t seem to want to make it safe.
And so it’s very simple. Our point is, listen, if you want the federal government to participate in funding your subway system, your bus system, make it safe so people and families can get on and make sure they’re not going to have their lives threatened, their health threatened when they ride the subway.” | | “Secretary Sean Duffy is correct. In Kathy Hochul's NY, it is DANGEROUS to ride the subway. If the Worst Governor in America wants the federal government to participate in funding the New York subway system, then it actually needs to be safe." | | Democrat Blake Gendebien Implodes on WKTV! | | Watch Gendebien’s full implosion here on WKTV.com | | Elise’s Statement on the Tragic Texas Floods | | “Our hearts are breaking as we pray for the families impacted by the devastating flooding in Texas, especially the precious young girls from the summer Camp Mystic. God speed our first responders who we fellow Americans know are working day and night to save these dear lives.” | - BLOOMBERG: GOP Lawmakers Press Trump to Speed Review of Chinese-Made Drones
