GLENS FALLS, NY – Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced that she earned the endorsements of every Republican Assembly member whose district overlaps with New York’s 21st Congressional District. The announcement follows endorsements for Stefanik from every Republican State Senator who represents parts of NY-21 and endorsements from more than 1,000 local elected officials in every county of the new district.
“I am humbled and honored to receive the endorsements of these eight terrific Assembly members, including those who represent new counties in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Our community is grateful for these elected leaders who fight every day for Upstate New York and the North Country against corrupt, Far Left Albany Democrats’ whose out-of-touch policies are destroying our state,” said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. “I’m proud to work closely with our state and local elected officials to end Albany’s war on family farms and rural America, Back the Blue, and support our small businesses. With the backing of these leaders and the endorsements of more than 1,000 local elected officials across our community, Team Elise is leading the Red Wave in NY-21 so that we can continue delivering real results to Upstate New York and the North Country.”
Assemblyman Jacob Ashby stated:
“I am proud to endorse Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election,” said Assemblyman Jacob Ashby. “Rensselaer County families are lucky that Elise will soon be their Congresswoman, as she has already proven to go above and beyond for her constituents. I have seen what Elise is capable of, as she was instrumental in helping my translator, who was assigned to my unit, earn his US citizenship. Additionally, Congresswoman Stefanik worked very hard to help his family during the devastating Afghanistan withdrawal. I can always count on Elise–and so can all of Upstate New York’s veterans, small businesses, farms, and seniors. That’s why I look forward to working hard in the final stretch until Election Day to help ensure that she is re-elected in a landslide.”
Assemblyman Mark Walczyk stated:
“I am proud to once again endorse our great Congresswoman, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik,” said Assemblyman Mark Walczyk. “Elise’s dedication to working with local officials and delivering real results for families across Upstate New York and the North Country is unmatched. She is a proven fighter who has consistently brought our concerns to the highest levels of government. Elise helped lead the New York delegation in introducing legislation to block Kathy Hochul’s Farm Laborers Wage Board disastrous overtime decision, which has threatened our family farms in NY-21 and is a direct assault on our local economy. We need to keep Elise in Congress to fight for us, which is why I ask you to join me in casting your ballot for her this November.”

I’ve seen first-hand how she has successfully fought and delivered for our veterans, small businesses, and families.

Elise knows how deeply the Schoharie limousine crash devastated our community, and she has championed our fight for accountability for the victims’ families. Since redistricting, she has also been constantly out in our community meeting with family farmers, small businesses, and seniors. She is instrumental in our critical fight to repeal Kathy Hochul’s farm overtime decision at the highest levels of government, and Schoharie County farmers know that she is fighting for us. Elise has my full support, and I look forward to continuing to work with her to deliver results for our community.”

That is why I ask you to join me in voting for our Congresswoman, Elise Stefanik on November 8th!”
