ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY—Today, 110 St. Lawrence County elected officials, including Republicans, Independents, and Democrats endorsed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for re-election to Congress. This is the highest number of endorsements the Congresswoman has ever received from officials in St. Lawrence County, and includes one or more local elected officials from every town in St. Lawrence County.
“I will be proudly voting for Congresswoman Stefanik this November,” said William Sheridan, Chairman of the County Legislature (R).“During her tenure as our congresswoman, Elise has stood strongly for St. Lawrence County, Upstate New York and the North Country. Elise is leading the fight to block Kathy Hochul’s Farm Laborers Wage Board’s out-of-touch decision to lower the overtime threshold. This decision is devastating to our family farms in St. Lawrence County and across NY-21. I know Elise is a fighter who will be able to deliver real results for our community on the issues affecting us, and that is why she has my full support.”
“I am honored to be supporting Congresswoman Stefanik this November,” said Shelly Youngs, Mayor, Village of Hammond (I).“Elise has proven to be a fierce advocate for St. Lawrence County, Upstate New York and the North Country during her tenure in Congress. She is the only person on the ballot running for Congress from Upstate New York and is in tune with our community’s struggles. She has proven to offer real solutions to inflation and the energy crisis plaguing our community, and Elise has never waivered when our Second Amendment rights have come under attack. For these reasons, I look forward to working hard over the next several weeks to ensure that she remains our representative in Congress.”
“This November, I will be supporting Congresswoman Elise Stefanik as she has proven time after time that she can deliver real results for St. Lawrence County, Upstate New York and the North Country,”said Daniel Skamperle, Councilman, City of Ogdensburg (D).“Elise has worked across the aisle to preserve and protect the St. Lawrence River against oil spills. She has also fought to protect our Second Amendment rights in Congress, standing up against gun-grabbing Kathy Hochul’s radical anti-Second Amendment legislation. I know that she will always fight for St. Lawrence County in Congress and that is why she has my full support.”
