| 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’s Statement on the New York Governor’s Race | | “Under Kathy Hochul’s failed Far Left Democrat rule, a radical Communist Defund-the-Police Antisemite may be elected Mayor of New York City, a CBP officer was just brutally shot in the face by an illegal in NY due to dangerous sanctuary state laws, and New Yorkers are fleeing the highest taxed state in the nation. Republicans are more unified than ever in our mission to fire the Worst Governor in America Kathy Hochul in 2026. Mike Lawler is a great, effective, and hardworking Representative for New York’s 17th Congressional District and is committed to protecting the House Republican Majority. As I have previously stated, I am focused on supporting strong Republican local and county candidates on the ballot this November to lay the groundwork with a strong team for next year. I will make a final decision and announcement after this year’s November election which we are all focused on. I am grateful for the outpouring of support across our great state from Republicans, Independents, and Democrats who know it is our last best chance to Save New York." | | ELISE OP-ED: “Cyber warfare has arrived. Here’s the United States’ best defense.” | | Read Elise’s Washington Post op-ed here | | Elise’s Legislation to Empower New York Workers Moves Toward Passage in Congress | | “Millions of Americans choose to be independent contractors to have more control of their schedule with increased flexibility. Despite this, the Biden administration decided to turn its back on these workers by proposing a flawed new rule eliminating this work classification, taking away opportunities from hardworking American workers.
I am proud to champion legislation that allows the American worker to choose how they want to classify their work and provide clarity and consistency for creators with clear 'employee' definitions across federal law.” | | FLASHBACK: Elise Leading the Charge in Congress to Uncover the 2016 False Russia Collusion Hoax | | Watch more on Rumble here | | Elise Introduces the Military Learning For Credit Act | | “I am proud to introduce this legislation with Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander to ensure America’s service members can unlock more educational and professional opportunities.
Providing more opportunity for our brave service members who selflessly serve our nation to receive the benefits they have earned is one of the many ways we can show our appreciation to them. It is incredibly important that we honor the extraordinary commitment our service members have made to our country as well as incentivize recruitment of future troops.” | | Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander stated – | | “My father used to say he got his education from the United States Navy, a reality I experienced myself as an intelligence officer for more than a decade. Our veterans go through intensive training during their service to our country. They should be able to apply that experience if they apply to college.
I am proud to introduce the Military Learning for Credit Act to support our veterans as they transition out of the service and give them every opportunity to apply the skills they earned in the military as they pursue a higher education.” | | Local News Coverage of Elise in NY-21! | | “As the proud representative of NY-21, I was honored to help deliver over $1.5 million in federal funding to make this long-overdue EMS facility a reality in Montgomery County.
This groundbreaking marks a major investment in public safety and in our heroic first responders. I will always ensure our upstate community has the tools to save lives and keep our families safe." | | See more on Elise’s Facebook page here | | Elise Introduces Legislation to Increase Transparency and Protect American Investors from Chinese Communist Party Threats | | “I am proud to introduce the American Investment Accountability Act and the Trusted Foreign Auditing Act to ensure accurate and timely information on the true scope and nature of financial transactions encompassing Communist China and other adversarial countries.
We must have greater visibility into how U.S. investments are strengthening the capabilities of our adversaries and prevent Chinese companies from sidestepping Western auditing standards.” | | Senator Rick Scott stated – | | “The Chinese Communist Party is actively waging economic warfare against the United States, using compromised auditors and deceptive financial tactics to infiltrate our markets and undermine our national security. These CCP-linked firms continue to evade oversight by U.S. regulators or follow the same reporting and accountability standards required of U.S. companies to intentionally deceive American investors and capitalize off their dollars.
I am glad to lead the Trusted Foreign Auditing Act and American Investment Accountability Act with Representative Elise Stefanik to expose and block these threats by cracking down on corrupt auditors and forcing transparency on U.S. investments tied to hostile regimes like Communist China to ensure American taxpayer funds no longer props up our adversaries. It's time to end the CCP’s backdoor access to our economy and defend the integrity of our financial system.” | | WATCH OUR AD: Defeat Mamdani, Fire Hochul, Save New York | - WASHINGTON POST: Cyber warfare has arrived.
