| 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! | | Team Elise SHATTERS Fundraising Records! | | “Team Elise continues its unprecedented fundraising pace making history in New York for Republicans. I am humbled by the record early support from generous grassroots donors and supporters in New York and across the country. Our movement to Save New York has never been in a stronger position to achieve victory next fall. I will continue to work tirelessly to enact President Trump’s historic mandate in Congress, ensure Republican victories up and down the ballot in New York, and then we will fire Kathy Hochul once and for all next year." | | The Elise War Room stated – | | “The boss is flexing some strong fundraising muscle. Biggest off-year fundraising haul in NYS history. These resources are the needed fuel for the fire To defeat Kathy Hochul in 2026.” | | Assemblyman Chris Tague stated – | | “Largest off-year quarterly fundraising haul for a NYGOP candidate in HISTORY. No one does it like Team Elise!” | | Monroe County GOP stated – | | “New Yorkers want change!! Largest off-year quarter haul for a NY Republican candidate in history!” | | NY POST: Elise “Skewers CUNY Chancellor, Calls for his Ouster” at Capitol Hill Hearing |  | | “I want to begin by discussing the heinous scourge of antisemitism on your watch as Chancellor at CUNY. You are aware at Baruch, Jewish freshmen were welcomed with heinous antisemitic taunts about the hostages killed by Hamas. ‘Where's Hersh? You ugly [expletive], [expletive], go bring them home.’ You ain't going home tonight. Go back to Brooklyn. All Zionists are terrorists.’ Are you aware of those antisemitic harassment slurs?
You hired Abd Alla as CUNY’s chief diversity officer, and this role includes overseeing antisemitism complaints and initiatives. Were you aware at that time that this senior administrator that you hired was previously employed by CAIR?
Let me remind you, CAIR was a co-conspirator in the terrorist financing case and has ties to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.
Let me make a prediction: No disciplinary action. This individual is not going to be fired because it's all words, no action. You have failed the people of New York. You have failed Jewish students in New York State, and it is a disgrace.” | | New York City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov stated – | | “Elise Stefanik and I are calling on Hochul to FIRE the CUNY Chancellor for his EGREGIOUS inaction. He has FAILED Jewish students at CUNY and Kathy Hochul has it completely within her power to do something about it - but WON’T. This is why I FOIL’ed ALL communications between CUNY, the Governor’s office, and OCR regarding antisemitism on CUNY campuses. WE WANT ANSWERS AND ACCOUNTABILITY.” | | Read the New York Post article here | | Radical Left Congresswoman AOC Coming to the NY-21 North Country to Campaign Against Elise | | Elise Advances the America First Defense Act! | | “I am proud to advance this year's America First defense bill that responsibly and rightfully strengthens our military in the face of the rapidly evolving threats posed by our adversaries such as China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
This bill will lead the charge in reforming our broken acquisition system, revitalizing our defense industrial base, and further increasing the readiness, capabilities, and lethality of our fighting force.
As the leading champion for Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division, I am pleased to announce that I led the charge on authorizing more than $22 million in additional funding to New York’s 21st District to protect and strengthen the Fort Drum community, support our troops, increase our military readiness, and assist the families of servicemembers.
I am proud to support President Trump’s mission of America First Peace Through Strength. The United States must remain the global leader in maintaining a strong national defense and delivering on our promises to our troops by providing a well-deserved pay raise to the brave men and women in uniform as they work to keep us safe." |  | | Elise’s Statement on Five Iranian Nationals Arrested on New York's Northern Border | | “In Congress, I have been sounding the alarm on the Swanton Sector of our Northern Border national security crisis due to Joe Biden and Kathy Hochul's open border policies. Thankfully, for the past six months, I have worked with President Trump to successfully secure the border. We are especially grateful for the hardworking border and law enforcement officials from Champlain, NY who protected our national security with the arrest of five Iranians and two Uzbeks in Mooers Forks, NY-21. This is yet another reason why the increased number of border officials we delivered in the One Big Beautiful Bill is more important than ever." | | LISTEN: The Patriot 1270 WUSW – Buffalo’s Conservative Talk | | Assemblyman Dave DiPietro stated – | | “I am honored to have a good friend and one of the most influential people in this country, Elise Stefanik. Congresswoman Elise, it was great to see you at the event last week in Buffalo. It was an incredible event. It was great to hear your speech. You were able to motivate so many people. You are an incredible speaker. We really appreciate you being there.” | | “If you look at the crises that have been created under single-party Democrat rule, you have an affordability crisis, and Kathy Hochul is trying to point fingers elsewhere. It is Democrats who control New York State right now. They have the governor’s mansion, the State Senate, and the State Assembly. They own this affordability crisis.
We need a strong leader in New York State that supports the police, that gets rid of failed bail reform, that ensures that we are enforcing the law, that includes deporting illegals, many of whom have committed violent crimes against law-abiding New Yorkers. I want to point out when Kathy Hochul had that horrific hearing on Capitol Hill where I was able to just bulldoze through her in five minutes, not even acknowledging these crimes, or a woman burned alive on the subway by an illegal, all on Kathy Hochul’s watch.
I saw some chatter. Kathy Hochul is the best real estate agent for the State of Florida. Ron DeSantis has said that as well because it’s only going to further fuel the mass exodus from our state. It doesn’t have to be this way. New Yorkers deserve so much better. That’s why you’re seeing not just Republicans, but independents and Democrats as well, yearning for a new generation of leadership that is common sense and that is able to bring things under control in New York.
We shouldn’t be ranked at the bottom of the list when it comes to being a state that is good for business. We’re at the bottom right now. We should be number one. We are the Empire State. We should be the leading state in the nation. And instead, we are the furthest behind in so many metrics.” |  | | Listen to Elise’s full interview on Rumble | | WATCH OUR AD: Defeat Mamdani, Fire Hochul, Save New York | - NEW YORK POST: Rep.
