“As the 12 County Chairs in NY-21, we are incredibly proud to endorse Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for House Republican Conference Chair. Elise has been a fighter for her constituents and a defender of our conservative values in Washington. She has been a champion of our law enforcement community, helped rebuild our military, protected our farmers, brought vital jobs back to NY-21, defended our second amendment rights, and has been a leading voice against Governor Cuomo’s criminal behavior.

Elise Stefanik voted against impeaching President Donald Trump on Wednesday, saying she “vehemently opposed” what she called a “snap impeachment.” Nevertheless, the House impeached Trump on one count of “incitement of insurrection,” with a vote of 232 to 197, seven days before his term ends. “It is a partisan ploy with no basis in the Constitution,” Stefanik wrote in a statement. “The Democrats’ decision to impeach the President with one week remaining in his term further fuels the divisions in the country during this very trying time.”
