We can always count on Elise to listen, stand up, and deliver, and I’m proud to give her my full endorsement.”

“As a longtime Republican, I’m proud to support Congresswoman Stefanik for re-election because she has a track record of fighting for our freedoms and truly making a difference for local families here in Hartford, the center of Washington County,”said Dana Haff (R), Town Supervisor of Hartford.“Even though we are a small rural town, Elise never forgets us nor our conservative values. Elise always makes time for families in Washington County, and we have been honored to have her continue to march in our Memorial Day parade. Congresswoman Stefanik has my full support.”
