TO THE EDITOR: I first started supporting Elise Stefanik when she first ran for office in 2014 because I felt that she truly wanted to represent the needs and interests of the North Country.

Six years later, I continue to support her because she has not let the big-wig bureaucrats in D.C. change her character and integrity. Just as she was in 2014, Elise is an honest, bipartisan representative that truly cares about each and every one of her constituents.

Throughout her time in office, she has proven that her intention is to protect the needs and interests of the North Country and our nation as whole. Before each vote, you can tell that she thoughtfully considered any implications that her vote could have on our families.

And when the going gets tough, we can count on Elise to stand up for what is right and to speak out against issues that will not benefit our communities here in the North Country.

Let me conclude by saying that each year when November rolls around it is a no-brainer that I will be casting my vote for Elise Stefanik. I know that she will fight for us in Washington, where she constantly proves her intention to create a better community for all.
