A Personal Note from Elise Stefanik | As I’ve said previously, when the Democrats shut down the government at the start of the month, I paused all of our fundraising. | The last thing I wanted to do was bother you with emails and texts at a time when millions of Americans are struggling because the Democrats decided to hold our country hostage to try and benefit illegals at your expense. | In fact, I believe so strongly that the American people need to see that YOU are our ONLY priority that I’ve had my own salary withheld during the Democrats’ senseless shutdown. | But while we were paused, the Democrats kept right on fundraising… | Dems push for $15 from supporters in fundraiser, pin shutdown on Trump and GOP “Leading Democrats began fundraising off the government shutdown, blaming Republicans and President Donald Trump despite having voted against a bipartisan extension to keep government operations running.” [Source: MEAWW News] | Honestly, we should have expected nothing less from a party so radical that they were willing to shut down the government in order to give healthcare to illegals! | As the Democrats continued to fundraise, I realized we couldn’t remain paused and allow them to take advantage of the shutdown to gain an edge for the midterms. | …Especially not when we’re locked in two battles with razor-thin margins: | Right now, we’re just 1 SEAT over the threshold to declare a majority in the House and the latest polling shows me BEATING Kathy Hochul by 1-POINT once voters are made aware of our positions. | But because of our pause, we’re now starting off October a week behind on fundraising. | Earlier this year, you helped me make up 5 months of fundraising in just a few weeks. Now, I need your help making up this week of fundraising in just a few days. | If there’s any group of grassroots Americans who can pull it off, it’s my supporters. You’ve always come through for me when I needed it most. | And now more than ever, I’m counting on your support, John. | We’ve fought so hard to both DEFEND the House and get into a position where, with the right messaging and support, we can BEAT Kathy Hochul and SAVE New York. | It would be devastating to squander that opportunity because we fell behind on fundraising and lacked the resources to tell Americans the TRUTH about Hochul and the Democrats. | Rep.
