HERKIMER COUNTY—Today, 114 Herkimer County elected officials, including Republicans, Democrats, and Independents endorsed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election to Congress. This is the highest number of endorsements the Congresswoman has ever received from officials in Herkimer County, andincludes the endorsement of every member on Herkimer County’s Board of Legislators.
“This November I will be supporting Congresswoman Elise Stefanik,” said Vincent Bono, Chairman of the Herkimer County Board of Legislators (R). “Elise has proven time and again that she understands Herkimer County, Upstate New York, and the North Country’s values. She consistently has stood up against Far-Left Democrats’ unconstitutional assault on our Second Amendment rights. When Albany Democrats implemented their illegal concealed carry permitting process, Elise signed the amicus brief against it and eventually ended their unconstitutional bill. Elise is the only candidate running to represent Herkimer County, Upstate New York, and the North Country that is from here and understands our values; that is why she has my full support this November.”
“I want to wish Congresswoman Stefanik good luck,” said John Brezinski, District 8 County Legislator (D).“She does a fantastic job and represents her district very well. She has always worked very hard for the people of her district and I am glad to support her.”
“I will be proudly supporting Congresswoman Elise Stefanik this November,” said Dorayne Peplinski, Warren Town Council Member (D).“Elise is the only candidate running in this race that is from Upstate New York and understands the needs and concerns of Herkimer County, Upstate New York, and the North Country. She has proven to be able to work across the aisle to deliver real results for our community, and that is why she has my full support. I look forward to working hard in the coming weeks to help ensure that Elise remains Herkimer County’s representative in Congress.”
